Description

StarTech TBLT3MM1M 1M Passive Thunderbolt 3 Cable

Overview

The StarTech TBLT3MM1M is a 1-meter (3.3 ft) passive Thunderbolt 3 cable designed to connect high-performance peripherals to compatible devices. It ensures reliable data transfer and power delivery for demanding applications, such as connecting external GPUs, high-speed storage, or docking stations. This cable is ideal for workstations and environments requiring maximum bandwidth and power efficiency, including professional video editing suites or complex surveillance recording setups where fast data offload is critical.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port, including laptops, desktops, and docking stations from major manufacturers. It supports data transfer rates up to 20 Gbps and can deliver up to 100W of power, making it suitable for charging laptops and powering bus-powered devices. It also supports video output up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, enabling dual-monitor setups when used with compatible devices and displays.

Installation Notes

As a passive cable, the TBLT3MM1M has a maximum effective length for its rated 40 Gbps speed. For 40 Gbps operation, passive cables are typically limited to 0.5 meters. This 1-meter cable is rated for 20 Gbps, ensuring reliable performance at this length. Ensure both the host device and the peripheral support Thunderbolt 3 for full functionality. The cable is backward compatible with USB-C devices, but will only provide USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds (10 Gbps) and standard USB-C power delivery.
