What the cable does

This 50cm Thunderbolt 5 cable delivers 80Gbps bandwidth with a 120Gbps boost for display workloads and carries up to 240W of power. It is built for users who connect Thunderbolt 5 laptops or docks and need the full certified performance in a short run.

Installing and common issues

The male-to-male USB-C connectors plug straight into Thunderbolt 5 ports and are backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 at 40Gbps. The 1.6-foot length limits placement flexibility, so verify the distance between your devices before buying; the short reach is the most frequent reason for returns.

Limits of the Thunderbolt 5 interface

Thunderbolt 5 tops out at 80Gbps bidirectional with a 120Gbps asymmetric boost, so sustained PCIe 4.0 traffic at 64Gbps will saturate the link. The cable supports DP 2.1 Alt Mode with DSC for dual 8K 60Hz output, but any display chain requiring more bandwidth than the certified 120Gbps peak will be constrained.
