CalDigit [Intel Certified] Thunderbolt 4 Cable - 40Gbps 100W Charging, Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 & USB-C, 2016+ MacBook Pro, Air, 2020+ M1 (0.8 Meter 2.62 Feet, Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 Cable)

Im a professional cinematographer and filmmaker and needed something that could handle a number of daisy chained TB3 hard drives, 3x USB 3.0 drives, a TB 4k monitor, and speakers and this one works perfectly. I tested other high end docks on the market and they ultimately would fail when I utilized all the ports at once. Additional issues I had with other docks is that they would have a tough time handling 1.2 mini display port monitor. This one did not. I feel very confident giving this product 5 stars.

Cable was exactly as described, is well built and performs perfectly. I have it connected from my iMac Pro to a Lacie 2Big Thunderbolt 3 2 Disk Array. Maintains the 40G/s Thunderbolt 3 speed even at its 2M length. Order was Fulfilled by Amazon and was delivered under Prime. Cables are notoriously expensive but given that a .5 meter from Apple is $39.95, $49.95 for this 2M cable is not bad especially considering shipping included, and the overall build quality. All of that considered makes it a good value in my opinion. I did not have to use tech support - but seeing as I did not have to, that is a 5 in my book.

Tried a bunch of other thunderbolt cables. Best speed I’ve found and none reach as far as these.

Since I have a laptop that has Thunderbolt 4, Ive decided to just standardize on using all Thunderbolt 4 cables.

CalDigit is always making great quality products

I bought an open box Gigabyte M32U monitor off of Newegg and the open box product was missing the usb-c cable. I bought this as a replacement and it provides the full 4K 144hz that this monitor supports from my M1 Max Macbook Pro. Awesome cable that works great for what I needed.

Works great, no issues. Good length.

The 2m cable works perfectly with my CalDigit TS3 Plus & my ‘17 MacBook Pro. The original 0.5m cable that came with the TS3 Plus was just too short for my needs. The 2m cable allows me to move the TS3 Plus off my desk and next to my router on a side table. Plug in my backup drive & everything is sweet. No issue with performance. Delivers enough power to my MacBook Pro & my desk is uncluttered.

My iMac Pro wasn’t recognizing my G Drives. These cables are higher quality than the manufacturer version. Problem solved.

Given what a mess USB-C is (i.e. one connector but lots and lots of cable nuances), I appreciate that CalDigit marks the cable connectors with a 3 and a Thunderbolt to signal that the cable is in fact a Thunderbolt-3 capable cable. Since its active, it can transfer 40GBps. Passive cables longer than 0.5m will be limited to 20GBps. While those numbers sound immense, keep in mind that a 4K display at 60Hz will consume ~13GBps.
