Description

StarTech TBLT34MM80CM 2.6ft Passive Thunderbolt 3 Cable

Overview

This 2.6ft (80cm) passive Thunderbolt 3 cable, model TBLT34MM80CM, provides a reliable connection for high-bandwidth peripherals. It's engineered to deliver the full 40Gbps data transfer rate, making it suitable for demanding applications like external GPU enclosures, high-speed RAID arrays, or multi-display setups where consistent throughput is critical. The passive design means it doesn't require external power, simplifying installation.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any host device and peripheral that supports the Thunderbolt 3 standard. This includes a wide range of laptops and desktops from manufacturers like Dell (XPS, Latitude), HP (Spectre, EliteBook), Apple (MacBook Pro, iMac), and others featuring Thunderbolt 3 ports. It is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 docking stations, external SSDs, and high-resolution displays that utilize the USB-C connector for Thunderbolt 3 signaling.

Installation Notes

Ensure both the host device and the peripheral are powered on and have functional Thunderbolt 3 ports. For optimal performance, connect the cable directly between the two devices. Avoid using USB-C to Thunderbolt 3 adapters or hubs unless they are specifically rated for 40Gbps, as this can bottleneck performance. The cable's 80cm length is ideal for desk setups or connecting devices within a rack without excessive slack.
