\"Apple’s<\/figure>\n
\n

Apple has released a new USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cable that will allow you to connect your Mac to things like Apple’s Pro Display XDR and external drives. The cable will definitely turn some heads because of its $129 price tag, because at first glance, it doesn’t seem like anything worth writing home about. Dig into the specifications, however, and this starts to sound like one capable cable.<\/p>\n

According to the features list on Apple’s website, this cable can transfer data over Thunderbolt 3 at up to 40Gbps. It’ll also support USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer, at rates up to 10Gbps, which is something many cheaper Thunderbolt 3 cables won’t. It also supports DisplayPort video using the High Bit Rate 3 standard. Finally, the cable supports 100 watts of power delivery.<\/p>\n

The cable actually has a very similar feature set to the 0.8m USB-C cable that Apple offers for $39 – in fact, switching between the two product listings on Apple’s website shows near-identical “highlights” sections for both cables. So, why the big difference in price?<\/p>\n

The first reason comes down to length, as cables like these tend to get much more expensive the longer they are but still promising support for the maximum 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 rate. Apple’s $39 cable is less than a meter in length, while this new cable is more than twice that length at two meters. The 2 meter cable is also braided, which means that it’s more durable and less likely to tangle, so that increases the price further.<\/p>\n

If it’s hard to wrap your head around the differences between various Thunderbolt 3 cables, you could always wait until Thunderbolt 4<\/a>, which will require that all cables up to 2 meters in length support 40Gbps transfer speeds. You could be waiting a while yet, though, as Intel hasn’t given a solid launch date for Thunderbolt 4, saying only that it should be out by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it – while Apple’s cable may come with a bit of sticker shock, it seems that the high price is warranted in this instance; assuming, of course, that you’re looking for a longer Thunderbolt 3 cable that handle 40Gbps data transfer rates. The cable is available on Apple’s website<\/a> beginning today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
