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) Laptop

Purchased to connect an elgato hd60 s to laptop, the hd60s is type c and because its a capture card it needed something heavy duty like the one provided by elgato, the problem is the market is overflowing with cheap cables everywhere. So I thought I'd give this one a try. Safe to say that it's upto to the task and performs exceptionally well for its intended purpose. In the meantime I've also used it to charge phones & tablets also I've used it to send audio from a Sony smartphone to a fiio portable dac and it works flawlessly. It's quite thick so feels very durable. Would I recommend yes but it all depends on your intended purpose. It is after all a Thunderbolt 4 cable and not your average type c cable. Would I buy again? Definitely although this time round I will go for the longer length even though its well beyond what I'd comfortably pay for a cable.

Reviewing cables is like pulling teeth, only more painful.What I can say is that these have decent build quality, perform as expected from a CalDigit product (I have a CalDigit T4 hub) but a shame that they cost so much. That said, better value than much of the competition in this market.

Used on a Dell XPS 13 9380 laptop to connect to a Razer Core X e-GPU containing a nVidia 1060 graphics card. The (passive) cable that comes with the enclosure means that you'd need to have the enclosure right next to the laptop, with its' fans running close to where you're sitting. Using this cable you can have it on the floor tucked out of the way - both visually and in terms of the noise - and I've experienced no trouble whatsoever with this setup. Yes - as mentioned in other reviews - the plugs get slightly warm, but that's because they have heat generating components inside - and they've certainly never got too hot to touch. Expensive for what seems to be just a cable - but worth it.

I use this with Thunderbolt 3 devices such as external SSD storage and video capture devices by BlackMagic and it has never failed. I have other TB cables which are TB3 and have had issues.I’m not saying that just because this is TB4 it makes it better than TB3 cables for TB3 devices but it is definitely the most reliable cable I have.I use this on a MacBook Pro M1 Max, which has TB4 ports. Maybe it’s the combination of the Mac’s ports with this cable that make it so reliable? I don’t know. However, the combination is perfect.I also use it with a couple of USB C SSDs and it’s flawless.Without a shadow of a doubt I would recommend this cable, it just works.

Not the most exciting purchase I have ever made, but allows me to have my eGPU not so close to my laptop (eGPU enclosure only included an extremely short cable which meant it had to be right next to my system until this was purchased). Very expensive and the price did nearly put me off, but ultimately understandable given its spec.

***Update after 1 year*** cable still good, but I've realised it is slightly more sensitive to connector wiggles than the passive 20gbps cables. If you wiggle the cable a tiny bit too much the connection will disconnect unexpectedly and possibly cause BSOD etc. I have stopped using this with my laptop when it is not stationary (e.g. on my lap while I have screens connected).This cable was a really great purchase. It's so worth having the extra slack in the Thunderbolt 3 cable.Allows you to move your laptop or lean back with feet on the desk without accidentally disconnecting the EGPU.The connector is quite long due to the chips inside them required for the active TB3 handshake. They also get quite hot under load, when I'm maxing out the GPU with a few screens and a lot of disk activity on the dock the connector is hot to the touch.

Does exactly as described, with a cable that is durable and fast charging. Data speeds are stupendously fast. I usually fill up a 128GB card and was able to download in no time. Be aware, that download speeds will depend on which computer you have, and the speed of your card/device. I am using an M1 MacBook which downloads in a blink.

This is a great cable. It is one of only a handful of cables to support full Thunderbolt 3 at 40Gbps, 100W of charging power, and long lengths of up to two metres. As listed in the description, this cable does *not* support USB 3, because it is an "active" cable - a necessity for Thunderbolt 3 cables longer than half a metre. The other reviewers seemed to expect USB 3 support.I've tested it with an LG UltraFine 5K display and it works perfectly. It can also be used as a charging cable.My only criticisms would be that the branding on the cable ends is ugly and unnecessary, and it would be nice for the Thunderbolt logo to be whiter rather than the yellowish off-white that it is; it looks quite cheap when plugged into a MacBook Pro next to the Thunderbolt 3 cable LG provides for its UltraFine 5K display - see pictures.

Me encanto la relación precio calidad, con un cargador de 30 watts me cargo mi iPhone de 20% al 80% en 30 minutos! Se que el cable de Apple es de una mejor calidad pero este cable me costo a un tercio del antes mencionado y funciona perfectamente.

Works just as intended - very pleased ~w this order.

Use this cable for connecting to some external ssd drives for editing.Works great.

Remplit son rôle à perfection, connexion rapide et efficace!

Legit cable that does what it says. Great for iPad Pro.Feels very premium and sturdy
