Product Description
Not Just a Thunderbolt 3 Cable

Thunderbolt 3 brings data transfers at speeds up to 40Gbps over USB-C, enabling a superset of standard USB-C to truly become one compact port that does it all—delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device.
For the first time, one port can connect numerous Thunderbolt devices, any display, and billions of USB devices (additional adapters may be required). Thunderbolt 3 cables are primarily used for connecting docking stations, high performance data storage solutions, peer-to-peer networking, and more.
Note: This cable is incompatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge and other (non USB-IF Power Delivery) “Fast Charge” technologies.
The Plugable TBT3-40G80CM cable is foremost designed as a Thunderbolt 3 cable, but it is also a universal USB-C cable for use with USB-C computers, phones, tablets, docking stations, accessories, and more. It supports all USB-C cable features, including USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 data lines, wire gauge supporting up to 5A charging via the USB-IF PD (Power Delivery) standard 100W max (5V-20V), and support for reporting its capabilities as an electronically marked cable.

A Cable That Does It All
- 1.6ft / 0.8m long
- 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3
- Dual 4K 60Hz video output or single 5K outputs
- Thunderbolt 3 peer-to-peer 10Gbps networking
- Supports up to 5Gbps transfer over USB-C 3.0 hosts and devices
- Wire gauge and electronic marking support up to 5A charging (5V-20V, 100W max)
- Cable supports previous USB generations such as USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0

Massive 40Gbps Bandwidth
Because the cable is designed for Thunderbolt 3, it is also capable of supporting data transfer speeds four times as fast as standard USB-C cables. The available 40Gbps bandwidth allows for dual 4K 60Hz video outputs (or a single 5K output) and up to 100W (20V, 5A) capabilities when used with compatible systems and Thunderbolt 3 accessories. Please note for USB-C usage this cable is limited to USB-C 3.0 (5Gbps).

Top reviews from Australia
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is one of the longer cables i could find (0.8m vs. 20-30cm)
This is probably also the cheapest cable i could find that supported thunderbolt 3.
Gets the job done, good quality cable, and great price. No issues from me.
Too soon to rate durability, although they look durable.
Have no idea what "sheerness" equates to.
Top reviews from other countries

This cable works and is far cheaper than the more famous and less functional alternatives
If like me you spent months and many wasted £a searching for a replacement for the LG Cable, your search is over!
