• Length: 5 meters
• Color: black
• Supported signals: high-speed data, video and audio, and power delivery where supported by connected devices
• Designed for maintaining signal integrity and bandwidth over extended cable length

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to a Thunderbolt 5 port on the host computer and the other end to a compatible peripheral, dock or display. Ensure both devices support the required Thunderbolt features (data rate, video output and power delivery) for the intended use. For multi-device setups, connect through a certified Thunderbolt dock or hub if additional ports or power management are required. Avoid sharp bends or kinks along the cable path and route the cable to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For stable performance, confirm that connected devices and cables support the same Thunderbolt version and required data rates. When using with high-power devices, verify that the host or dock provides the necessary power delivery. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight to preserve cable longevity.
