MicroConnect Thunderbolt 4 Cable USB-C 0.5 m 100W 8K60Hz

The MicroConnect Thunderbolt 4 Cable USB-C 0.5 m 100W 8K60Hz is a high-performance connectivity solution designed to meet demanding professional and personal requirements. As part of the MicroConnect Premium series, this cable is engineered with premium materials, including a flexible, halogen-free TPE jacket and a durable coaxial construction with TEFLON insulation and tinned copper weaving to reduce interference and extend service life. Equipped with Intel's built-in Thunderbolt chipset, it ensures consistent, reliable, and safe performance for modern computing setups.

Advantages

This cable delivers exceptional versatility by combining data transfer, video output, and power delivery into a single connection. It supports ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbit/s, enabling rapid file sharing and seamless communication with high-performance peripherals. For visual output, it is capable of driving a single ultra-high-definition 8K display at 60Hz or dual 4K displays at 60Hz when connected to a compatible Thunderbolt port. Additionally, it features high power delivery capabilities for rapid charging of laptops and other demanding gadgets.

Suitable for

• Connecting modern laptops to docking stations and USB hubs
• Linking high-performance peripheral devices such as eGPUs and external storage
• Transmitting video signals from computers to 8K or dual 4K monitors
• Rapid charging of compatible laptops and mobile devices
• Professional workspaces and industrial environments requiring reliable connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for older devices equipped with regular Type-C ports that do not support Thunderbolt or DisplayPort Alternate Mode, as video output functionality will be limited or unavailable. Furthermore, the 0.5-meter length restricts its use to close-proximity connections, making it impractical for setups where devices are spaced far apart.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-C to USB-C
• Cable length: 0.5 meters
• Data transfer speed: Up to 40 Gbit/s
• Video support: Single 8K at 60Hz or dual 4K at 60Hz
• Power delivery: Up to 100W (compatible with systems supporting higher ratings)
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Chipset: Built-in Intel Thunderbolt chipset

How to use

Insert one end of the USB-C cable into a Thunderbolt 4 or compatible Thunderbolt port on your computer, laptop, or host device. Connect the other end directly to your peripheral, docking station, or display. Ensure that your hardware ports support the required features, such as DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output via USB-C. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension during routing to maintain the integrity of the internal coaxial structure and ensure long-term reliability.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your host device and peripherals feature compatible Thunderbolt or fully-featured USB-C ports
• Check the 0.5-meter length to ensure it is sufficient for the physical distance between your connected devices
• Confirm whether your equipment requires video output capabilities and check port compatibility for Alt Mode
• Assess your power charging requirements to ensure the cable meets your device demands

Usage recommendations: To achieve maximum data transfer speeds and full video resolution capabilities, always connect the cable directly to designated Thunderbolt 4 ports on your computer and displays. Avoid using uncertified extension adapters that may degrade signal quality, power delivery, and overall performance.
