  • 80 Gbps bi-directional data transfer speeds up demanding workflows
  • 120 Gbps video bandwidth enables high-resolution multi-monitor setups
  • 240 W Power Delivery 3.1 charges high-performance laptops
  • Intel-certified Thunderbolt cable ensures stable, reliable connections

Thunderbolt 5 cable for high-bandwidth workflows

This one-metre cable delivers 80 Gbps bi-directional data transfer and 120 Gbps video bandwidth for professionals moving large 4K video or 3D model files. It also supplies up to 240 W of USB Power Delivery 3.1 to charge high-performance laptops through the same connection. The dual USB-C male connectors fit Thunderbolt 5 hosts and peripherals directly.

80 Gbps data rate and 240 W power delivery

The headline specification is the 80 Gbps Thunderbolt 5 data rate, which doubles the throughput of the previous generation and determines whether the cable can sustain your fastest storage arrays or multi-stream video workflows. The 240 W power rating decides if it can charge your most demanding laptop without a separate brick. Both figures must match your host and device capabilities.

Simple plug-in with a locking option

Installation is a direct USB-C to USB-C connection that requires no drivers or configuration on supported operating systems. The connectors are compatible with Sonnet ThunderLok-A locks for installations where vibration or movement could unseat the cable. The main compatibility issue arises when users expect Thunderbolt 5 speeds from older Thunderbolt 3 or USB4 ports, which will fall back to their native lower bandwidths.
