Description

StarTech TBLT5MM50CM240W 50cm Thunderbolt 5 Cable

Overview

The StarTech TBLT5MM50CM240W is a 0.5-meter (1.6 ft) Thunderbolt 5 cable designed for high-bandwidth, high-power applications. It supports data transfer rates up to 80Gbps, with a boost mode reaching 120Gbps, and delivers up to 240W of Power Delivery. This cable is ideal for connecting high-performance external drives, docking stations, and displays that require maximum throughput and power. The 240W PD capability means it can power demanding laptops and peripherals directly from the host device, simplifying setups and reducing cable clutter in professional workstations and mobile setups.

Compatibility

This Thunderbolt 5 cable is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 devices, ensuring broad connectivity. It supports DisplayPort 2.1 Alternate Mode for video output, enabling resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz. The cable also supports PCIe 4.0 (64 Gbps) tunneling, making it suitable for high-speed external GPUs and NVMe enclosures. It is designed to work with any host device and peripheral that supports Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or USB4 specifications.

Installation Notes

The cable features straight connectors on both ends for direct connection. Its 30/34 AWG wire gauge and tinned copper braid shielding minimize signal loss and interference, crucial for maintaining 80Gbps speeds. The TPE jacket offers flexibility and durability for repeated use. Operating temperature range is 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F), with storage temperatures between -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F). Humidity should be kept below 85% RH.
