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)

This TB4 cable allows me to switch back and forth between two Macs using the same TS3+ dock by simply unplugging the cable from one Macs TB Port and plugging it into the TB Port on the other one. Sounds simple, but it was never that simple with the old long active Thunderbolt 3 cable. With the old TB3 long active cable, there was a laborious process of Mac detection and dock reboot required to switch between the two Macs using the same dock.

I had been using a much shorter 18-inch , manufacturer-provided Thunderbolt3 cable to connect an iMac 27-inch to an external Thunder3 QuadX bay with 4 drives in it. Using the 2-meter cable from CalDigit, plugged in for the first time today, BlackMagic Speed Test shows the drives (spinning SATA drives) functioning at the same speeds as they did with the shorter cable. Im not super techie but this gives me some assurance the longer cable is not getting in the way of performance, and now I can move the enclosure to a more convenient location farther away from the iMac. Also I tested both ends of the cable in both the iMac and in the Thunder3 QuadX ports and it engages well, clicking into place. Some reviews of other cables talk about touchy connections with Thunderbolt3 cables. My only complaint about this cable (along with others on the market right now) is paying this much for a cable of this length. I will update the review if I encounter any problems with it in the future.

CalDigit is always making great quality products

Unfortunately for all the tech junkies out there who wants a longer version of their current short Thunderbolt 3 cable, this cable does not work. I have now tested it on multiple devices and even though it allows some of the same data and connections through it does not fully allow everything through. Were all going to have to wait it seems for a company like Belkin to produce a longer cable as this companys cable seems to be a bust.

Love not having to worry if it can handle power requirements and whether Im getting fastest data peed possible.

You will be surprised that this cable works only at USB2 speeds, unlike

When it comes to reliable brands, you can trust Cal Digit. They make the TS4 dock for MacBooks which are top of-the line. Their cables are the same. Only wish they would have a braided version.

I have a Razer Core X and a CalDigit TS3 Plus. Both came with short cables. Tried both the CalDigit 2m cable and NekTeck 2m cables, both of which do not work. The original cables and an Apple 0.8m cable works with my devices. I am giving 2 stars because CalDigit knew about the incompatibility, but this is not stated on the product page.

I bought the 2 meter cable for my thinkpad thunderbolt 3 dock because this meets the specifications lenovo states in the user manual. I bought it to replace the passive 1.5 meter cable that comes with the dock. It works great, but only works if I have the power cord plugged into the laptop. If the power cord is not plugged into the laptop, the caldigit cable will not work. Whereas the 1.5 meter passive cable that came with the dock does not require that. This is presumably something to do with the laptop hardware design/limitations, rather than some fault of this caldigit cable.

Working as it should. Bought to connect seagate firecuda hub I bought but this cable also allow me to connect my MacBook to wide monitor that has USB-C port. Give excellent resolution and sharp text and images in 4K.
