Cable Matters [Intel Certified] 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 Cable with up to 120Gbps Bandwidth Boost and 240W Charging in Black - 1m / 3.3ft, Compatible with Thunderbolt 4, USB 4 and USB-C

Purchased to use with a Samsung SSD drive. It provides an upgrade in performance than the lead Samsung supply with the drive.

Over the years ive spent a lot on top end cables, however saw this and thought I would try it. Then tried cancelling the order after thinking about how much it is. Already sent so it didnt cancel the order, got it the next day Sunday, so could take it to the PO, however using my normal cables I transferred a series mid size files to a usb hard drive, it took 3mins 40secs, I thought ok I will try this one the thunderbolt 5, it did it in 42secs, I then popped on a usb a 3.2 adaptor on the usb c and it did the transfer in 36secs, I decided to keep the cable, I guess when you look at it, it just looks like a cable, its when you use it, you realise why it costs more.

The extra 20cm from older 80cm cables is definitely life-changing. Cable material is also pretty good, less tangling & easy to store. Functions as intended no problem whatsoever

The cable looks and feels well-made, it is flexible but robust. The casings just before the connectors are in plastic but they are tidy. The connectors fit snugly into the ports I tried so far. I don’t have Thunderbolt 5 devices but I got the max speed from the lower-specked devices and fast charging also worked well. No issues using this cable with my current monitors' setup. So all I could test is backward compatibility I guess. Pricey for a 1-meter cable but TH5 is new so not many options for a while I guess.

I ordered this yesterday and it came this afternoon. I have an M1 MBP and wanted to connect my Sandisk G40 SSD to it for high speed date transfer to use with Final CutPro. As a comparison, with a USB-C cable the speed was under 1000, with a TB3 cable it was about 1900 but with the TB5 cable it is well over 2500. Very very impressed and I'm guessing if it was used with a TB5 computer it would be even quicker

I needed a new Thunderbolt cable for my laptop. My laptop has a Thunderbolt 5 interface, so I thought I would see how much more a TB5 cable was vs a TB4 cable was. Not a lot as it happens.I have tested it with a TB3 and TB4 device, and it appears to be working.Would purchase again.

Its a cable.

I do love a cable and this is one of those, running off my MBP on a TB4 and no issues with compatibility. Nice feel and overall a good cable for the price.
