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)

$100? is it aprils fool already?

Ive connected my 2019 MacBook Pro to a Thunderbolt dock with this 2-meter-long cable so I can sit with the laptop on my lap (imagine that) and have several external drives connected from afar. It works. Id ordered another, cheaper, cable from another manufacturer and the slightest movement caused disconnection of all the drives. Id tried several ways to steady the connections but no luck. Then I tried a short CalDigit cable that came with a CalDigit dock I use at the office and it seemed to be reliable. So I took a chance (not a chance, really, with Amazons return policy) on this longer cable. A week into it and so far not a single disconnect. It must have to do with the connectors gripping more tightly, plus the sheathing on this is a more flexible plastic than the off-brands braided sheath. Dont skimp if you want reliability. Others may be just as good but definitely not the one I tried first. Unfortunately its too late to return it.

Does not work with Cal Digit USB C docking station. Long and durable.

Since I have a laptop that has Thunderbolt 4, Ive decided to just standardize on using all Thunderbolt 4 cables.

I bought an open box Gigabyte M32U monitor off of Newegg and the open box product was missing the usb-c cable. I bought this as a replacement and it provides the full 4K 144hz that this monitor supports from my M1 Max Macbook Pro. Awesome cable that works great for what I needed.

First The most important part I don’t unplug it daily maybe once a month and yet it Doesn’t last, went through 3 in less then a year! I should have know better to just stop buying after two, but sometimes you just don’t have time to search. For sure overpriced Chinese garbage. You would think a company wouldn’t want their name stamped onto that. If your company is good and charging a lot maybe do the opposite of what everyone is doing and actually make your own products in America.

Caldigit, reliable product quality & performance

I purchased this cable directly from CalDigit. I figured for a $70 cable this would last longer than 2-years but one day my CalDigit hub lost connection to my Mac. Turns out the cable just up and died and shows a speed of 480 Mbps in Apples System Information. Thankfully I had a spare but its an .8m that will get me by, but Ill probably try someone else for a 2m cable thats not charging $70 if these go out often.

This is an active Thunderbolt 3 cable, that can transmit up to 40 Gbps in data and video. Pure data throughput is 32 Gbps according to TB3 standard. The cable connects a MBP 16 2016 and a Sonnet 650OC enclosure with a Vega FE card. The connection has been rock solid. The eGPU enclosure is behind the desk and hence GPU fan noise is muted. All monitors are connected directly to eGPU in my configuration.

Didnt work. At all. Returned.
