## Description

Product Description Thunderbolt 3’s unparalleled performance has had a tradeoff, with short 1.6 foot/.5 meter cables or more costly “active” cables (without USB 3.1 compatibility) required to reach its maximum capability of 40Gbps. However, Plugable’s 2.6ft/80cm cable allows you to take advantage of this new technology, including USB 3.1 compatibility, with nearly a foot longer cable than before, solving the frustration of an overly short cable and limited distance between your laptop and dock. Plugable’s 2.6ft/80cm Thunderbolt 3 Cable consolidates data transfer, video output, and charging into a single compact connector. It offers data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps and USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, along with DisplayPort video output (HBR3) and charging up to 100W. A Cable That Does It All The Plugable Thunderbolt 3 cable is capable of supporting data transfer speeds four times faster than standard USB-C cables. The massive 40Gbps bandwidth allows for dual 4K@60Hz video outputs (or a single 5120×2880@60Hz output) and up to 5A/100W power delivery capabilities when used with compatible systems and Thunderbolt 3 accessories. The Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Cable connects to as many as 6 devices, daisy chained, through a single compact port. Not Just a Thunderbolt 3 Cable The Plugable Thunderbolt 3 cable is first and foremost designed as a Thunderbolt 3 cable, but it is also supports all the "must have" features of USB 3.1. This cable can also be used as 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 USB-IF Power Delivery standard (5V-20V, 100W max), and support for reporting its capabilities as an electronically marked cable. New Level of Connection The Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Cable is compatible with your Thunderbolt 3 enabled Apple Mac (MacBook Pro Late 2016, 2017, 2018, MacBook Air 2018 & iMac Late 2017, 2018) and Thunderbolt 3 Windows PCs like the Dell XPS, HP Spectre, and Lenovo Carbon X1 series, and non-Thunderbolt USB Type-C systems. Incompatible with Qualcomm QC 3.0 and other (non USB-compliant) "Fast Charge" technologies. Plugable’s Thunderbolt 3 cable also has the Thunderbolt logo and number 3 etched on the cable, making it easily distinguishable between multiple cables. The cable is electronically marked with an IC (sometimes referred to as an “e-marker”) to assist in negotiation of charging rates and USB-C alternate modes like DisplayPort video.

Review: Works with LG UD88-W Monitor - This is the only cable other than the one supplied by LG that works with their monitors to not only provide full video, but also to support the built in USB Ports. I went through all the usual brands, Belkin etc. that all support video and charging, but didn’t work for the USB Ports. 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!
Review: Worked fantastic with my XPS13 (2020) and Razer Core X eGPU (1660ti). - Replaced a 2m cable from my laptop to my external GPU that kept disconnecting whilst playing video games. This worked amazingly, not had a single disconnect and even forgot I used to have that issue. It is shorter but just about long enough to work for me and I am pleased I replaced my old cable.

## Features

- More Possibilities - Thunderbolt cable with 40Gbps speed and USB 3.0 5Gbps compatibility. Supports data transfer 2x faster than standard USB-C cables.

- Great for Fast Charging - This Thunderbolt USB-C cable is a superset of standard USB-C cable that is backward compatible with any USB-C port. Work as a Fast Charging cable, or a relaiable USB-C cable for dock. Incompatible with QC 3.0 and other non USB-compliant technologies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Links video, power and devices to a usb-c hub monitor,
*by M***S on 20 May 2021*

Seems a good quality cable. Works with my USB-C monitor (Philips 243B9) to provide power, video and usb hubbed devices from a MacBook Pro. Worth knowing as in order to do this you need a thunderbolt 3 cable such as this and not just a usb-c cable which might only provide power but not video.
