Overview

The Apple Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) Pro Cable in black is a 1.8-meter, all-purpose cable built to handle the most demanding connectivity needs of modern Mac and iPad workflows. Supporting Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB 4 protocols at speeds up to 40Gb/s, it is capable of driving external storage arrays, docks, and high-resolution displays without bottlenecks. USB 3.1 Gen 2 compatibility at 10Gb/s ensures backward compatibility with a wide range of USB-C peripherals. DisplayPort HBR3 video output lets you connect directly to Apple's Studio Display or Pro Display XDR, as well as other USB-C and Thunderbolt monitors.

The cable's black braided exterior is designed to coil neatly and resist the tangling that plagues standard rubber-jacketed cables, making it a practical choice for both stationary desk setups and portable use. With USB Power Delivery up to 100W, it can charge a MacBook Pro while simultaneously transferring data, reducing cable clutter. Daisy-chain support for up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices makes it especially useful for professional setups involving multiple peripherals. This is a cable built for users who need reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity and are willing to invest in Apple's build quality to get it.
