6ft (2m) Active Thunderbolt 4 Cable, 40Gbps, 100W Power Delivery, 4K/8K Video, Intel-Certified Thunderbolt Cable - Compatible w/ USB4/Thunderbolt 4/ USB 3.2/ USB Type-C/DisplayPort/Thunderbolt 3 

## **Product ID:** A40G2MB-TB4-CABLE 

The 6.6ft (2m) Active Thunderbolt 4 cable enables full Thunderbolt 4 capabilities and outperforms passive cables beyond 3.3ft (1m) length. An active integrated chipset minimizes signal degradation for consistent 40Gbps output at distances of up to 6.6ft (2m), while passive cables deliver limited performance beyond 3.3ft (1m) due to signal loss. 

This Active Thunderbolt 4 cable supports data transfer rates of 40 Gbps, when connected to a Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB4-compatible source and device. It is capable of transferring data four times faster than standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) cables. 

USB Power Delivery 3.0 

This Thunderbolt 4 cable delivers up to 100W of Power Delivery to charge a laptop or power a display, and 15W for bus-powered devices such as hard drive enclosures. 

The Thunderbolt 4 cable is compatible with all USB Type-C devices and can be used to charge and sync mobile devices. In addition, this cable can be used to connect and power USB-C laptops, such as MacBook and Chromebook, and USB-C peripherals such as portable hard drives and docking stations. 

The cable supports full-8K 60Hz video and DisplayPort 1.4a, and is compatible with Display Stream Compression (DSC). Use it to connect a docking station to laptop, or a laptop to a display. 

The cable can be used to daisy chain up to 6 Thunderbolt 4-enabled devices, such as laptops for peer-to-peer 10GbE networking. In addition, connect two Thunderbolt 4 laptops to transfer/migrate data.
