Description

StarTech TBLT34MM50CM Passive Thunderbolt 3 Cable

Overview

The StarTech TBLT34MM50CM is a 50cm (1.6 ft) passive Thunderbolt 3 cable designed for high-bandwidth data transfer and power delivery. It ensures consistent 40 Gbps performance, making it suitable for connecting high-performance peripherals like external SSDs, docking stations, and high-resolution displays to Thunderbolt 3-enabled systems. This cable is ideal for workstations and mobile setups where reliable, high-speed connectivity is critical for demanding applications, including video editing, large file transfers, and multi-monitor configurations. The TBLT34MM50CM model provides a short, manageable length for direct connections without excess cable clutter.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any host device and peripheral featuring Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports. It supports full 40 Gbps data rates and 100W Power Delivery, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Thunderbolt 3 devices including laptops, docking stations, external storage solutions, and high-resolution monitors. It is also backward compatible with USB-C devices, though it will operate at USB-C speeds and capabilities.

Installation Notes

As a passive cable, the TBLT34MM50CM's maximum length of 0.5 meters (1.6 ft) is critical for maintaining the full 40 Gbps bandwidth. Active cables of longer lengths are required for distances exceeding this specification. Ensure both the host device and the peripheral support Thunderbolt 3 for full functionality.
