StarTech Thunderbolt 3 cable, 0.5 m, Black

This is a Thunderbolt 3 cable designed for high-performance connectivity between host systems and compatible peripherals. The cable facilitates a maximum bidirectional data throughput of 40 Gbit/s, enabling efficient handling of demanding protocols, including PCIe and DisplayPort 1.2, which is critical for external storage arrays and docking stations. The compact 0.5-meter length minimizes cable management issues in mobile or constrained desktop environments, ensuring reliable signal transmission over a short distance.

The cable’s video transmission capabilities support a single display operating at 5120 x 2880 resolution, or 5K, at a 60 Hz refresh rate. Alternatively, the connection is rated to manage simultaneous dual 4K monitor setups, delivering 3840 x 2160 resolution across both screens at 60 Hz. The passive construction supports up to 100 W of USB Power Delivery (PD), allowing the cable to charge compatible laptops or power bus-powered peripherals. Construction utilizes a robust PVC jacket and comprehensive shielding, including aluminum-mylar foil and a braided layer, to protect signal integrity at maximum bandwidth.
