MORE POSSIBILITIES—Thunderbolt 3 cable with 20Gbps speed and USB 3.0 5Gbps compatibility. Supports data transfer 2x faster than standard USB-C cables. Depending on host, up to a single 4K @ 60Hz display supported, and up to 20V, 5A charging
STREAMLINED PRODUCTIVITY—Daisy chain up to 6 Thunderbolt devices including docking stations, external graphics cards, and displays. Please note 20Gbps speed cables are not suitable for eGPU and dual 4K display scenarios.
APPLE NOTES—Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB-C connector built into late 2016 MacBook Pros and newer models. This connector will not physically fit into Thunderbolt 1 or Thunderbolt 2 ports found on previous generation Mac systems
COMPATIBILITY—Thunderbolt, USB and DisplayPort Alt Mode compatible. Compatible with your Thunderbolt 3 enabled Mac and Thunderbolt 3 Windows PCs, and non-Thunderbolt USB-C systems. Incompatible with QC 3.0 and other non USB-compliant technologies
2 YEAR WARRANTY—We love our Plugable products, and hope you will too. This product is covered by a 24-month limited warranty as well as Seattle-based email support
Not Just a Thunderbolt 3 Cable
Thunderbolt 3 brings data transfers at speeds up to 20Gbps 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 20Gbps 1 Meter Thunderbolt 3 Cable (TBT3-20G1M) 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
3.2ft/1m long
20Gbps Thunderbolt 3
Single 4K@60Hz video output or dual 1080p@60Hz 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 20Gbps 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 20Gbps bandwidth allows for a single 4K 60Hz video output or 2 video outputs at 1080p @ 60Hz. Also supports 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).
Specifications
e-Marker:
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.
Connect one end of the USB-C cable to the host device.
Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to the other desired device.
