OWC 28-Inch Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C Cable with 40 GBPS Data Transfer, 240W Power Charging and 8K Video Capability (Black)

If you are looking for a cable that eliminates the "will this work?" guesswork from your tech setup, the OWC Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Cable is the gold standard. While many cables look identical, the performance here is in a league of its own. High-Speed Data & Professional Connectivity With a 40Gbps data transfer rate, this cable is built for heavy lifting. It handles massive file transfers and high-bandwidth peripherals without breaking a sweat. Mac Mini to Portable Monitor: This cable is the perfect bridge for a desk setup. It provides a rock-solid, flicker-free connection between a Mac Mini and a portable monitor, handling both the high-resolution video signal and the power requirements through a single, streamlined cord. Universal Compatibility: Because it is Thunderbolt 4 certified, it is backwards compatible with USB-C 3.2 and 4.0, making it the most versatile tool in your kit. Exceptional Charging Power Beyond data, the power delivery on this OWC cable is top-tier. It is fully capable of fast-charging iPad Pros at their maximum supported speeds. Whether you are topping off an 11-inch or the power-hungry 13-inch M5, you can trust that you’re getting the most efficient charge possible. Built to Last At 28 inches (0.72 meters), it is the ideal length for a desktop environment—long enough for flexibility, but short enough to avoid a tangled mess of "cable spaghetti." The build quality is rugged and professional, designed to withstand the constant plugging and unplugging of a mobile workstation.

Cable performs as advertised

There aren't much thunderbolt 5 devices out yet, but this thick cable is future proof and ready to handle upcoming devices. This cable is not as cheap as some of the other cables you can find online, but, it is from a local American company with a strong reputation. Many of the other "American" branded companies in the accessories market are like shell companies of a dozen American employees or less that outsource everything else overseas. OWC employs hundreds of US workers. You get what you pay for, and in this case I think it's a high quality cable from an American company. I noticed that even in apples to apples comparisons (such as fast charging a device only capable of 40 watts) this cable performs marginally better than other cables. Like 40.7 vs 41.7, it's not much, but it's interesting to note. I guess maybe it's because of the quality of the cable and the requirements of the thunderbolt 5 standard let it squeeze just a little bit more into devices? Don't expect significant gains unless you're using an actual thunderbolt 5 connection, but you can expect this to reliably max out any device you'll ever buy and beat any cable on the market.

Half a dozen cables later I found this one and it solved pretty much every issue I had with a TS5Plus across the room. The signal came through better over this 15' cable than quite a few of my others that were much shorter including a TB4 rated one at 3ft... Note that it may not deliver more than 60W, but I haven't tested this. tl;dr: If you have unavoidable EMI (cables nest of power and usb perhaps?) and also need distance -- this cable can not be beat.

This is a really good data and charge cable, and for what it is, it is a relative bargain. I would suggest people get informed about cables before buying. There are a lot of USB-C cables out there. The differences are whether they are charge cables, how much resistance they have (the wattage rating, ie how thick the actual copper is) and whether they are also data cables. People wince at the Apple Thunderbolt cable prices, but without realizing the engineering and manufacturing involved to carry that much current at the same time as that much data. It's asking a lot of a cable.I had to learn the hard way as a photographer with a large archive. Cables matter. When transferring large amounts of data, most cheap cables don't do data at all. Then most of the data cables aren't rated for full-speed transfers and default to lower transfer speeds. Then, a lot of cables aren't rated for full-power charging, so your computer is trickling in power at 30 watts. This cable actually does everything well. That's why it costs more than the generic USB-C cables. I think it's worth every penny. For what it is, these cables seem like a real bargain. I have a longer OWC cable at home to connect to my RAID archive. I got this short one to stay in my bag. I use it to charge from a power brick and transfer projects back and forth from an NVMe enclosure. so far I've mostly used it at my teaching job at a college. It handles charges from my battery brick quicker than the generic cable it came with. It's noticeably quicker. Then it transfers big batches of data much quicker than the little generic cable the NVMe enclosure came with. Having a cable like this will pay for itself when I have photo jobs where I have to process and back up large batches of photos quickly on site and then top of my computer after running it down processing pictures.

Short and expensive. Works well on Mac Studio M4 Max

Not all UBC-C cables are the same. The difference is not only the quality of the cable but it’s also the speed of the cable. My collection of USB-C cables for charging an iPhone won’t work for connecting a device to a remote monitor. This high speed cable is the cable for making the connection to a monitor. It’s stiffer than the low speed cables but flexible enough to handle easily. Cable construction is high quality. I don’t expect to be needing to replace this cable for a long time..unlike some of my less expensive cables.

I use it to connect my OWC 1M2 to my Mac Studio. The cable the drive came with was too short so got this longer one.

Hab leider ein gebrauchtes Kabel bekommen... bei knapp 150€ Neupreis... und Amazon Support konnte auch nicht weiterhelfen. Naja. Ansonsten scheint das Kabel erstmal soweit in Ordnung zu funktionieren.

Muy bueno, a buen precio, funcional

Excellent cable and well made 👍🏻

OWC the most reliable brand for mac!

L’ho preso perché per sfruttare davvero le prestazioni Thunderbolt 5 a 80 Gb/s serve un cavo all’altezza, e questo fa esattamente il suo lavoro. La costruzione è solida, il cavo è robusto ma non rigido, i connettori sono ben rifiniti e trasmettono una sensazione premium. Collegato non dà mai problemi di riconoscimento o disconnessioni, nemmeno sotto carichi pesanti 💪 Nel mio caso lo considero un vero must: per chi, come me, ha acquistato la custodia esterna OWC per SSD da 80 Gb/s, è di fatto indispensabile per ottenere le prestazioni reali promesse dal prodotto 🚀 Con cavi generici o non certificati si rischia di non sfruttare tutto il potenziale. Funziona perfettamente su Mac, viene riconosciuto subito e mantiene velocità stabili anche durante trasferimenti lunghi. Non è il cavo più economico, ma qui si paga qualità, certificazione e affidabilità. Se si investe in hardware di questo livello, questo cavo è la scelta giusta.
