2 Meter Thunderbolt 3 Cables

Using with dock with a late 2020 MacBookPro 13 M1 w 16gig.  I love having just one cable to attach to an external dock for all attachments including power!   Using the dock with an external 4k display, 3 or 4 hard drives, and a secondary older USB 2.0 dock (a/c powered) that I attach to this dock -- for a variety of low powered external devices such as camera or microphone. IMPORTANT: The dock great with the enclosed half meter cable but when I tried a longer cable, it failed to drive everything adequately, even though I checked the spec carefully and also it was a reliable brand (I think it was Anker).   I read a LOT about Thunderbolt 3 cables that afternoon and what I found is that everything DOES change once you exceed half a meter.   You may notice that a one meter Thunderbolt cable can oddly more than a half a meter cable. Why? There is some kind of extra internal circuit needed once you exceed the half meter point. Still, even with a proper one meter Thunderbolt 3 cable I could not get the full capabilities to work as I described above. I did not try other brands of cables, just decided to leave well enough alone.

These new V.3 pouches are even better than the V.2. The rain covers are designed much better!

Thunderbolt cables will not work when connecting to pre-thunderbolt Macs. This was truly plug and play.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of the Thunderbolt 3 Cables in exchange for my unbiased review of the product. I work remotely and keep cables with me, so that I can be very productive with file transfers. These type c to usb cables are great. They transfer data fast and effectively. You can use these cables for a variety of applications. I use mine to connect my Hp windows pc to my external monitor.

Used In Dual M.2 Thunderbolt 3 configured as RAID 0. Over 2,200 MB/sec and barely warm to the touch. No fan enclosure.

Looks great, the only board I could buy with both optical and 2 thunderbolt ports while still having a full complement of m.2. There were some reviews stating instability, but that was not my experience at all. It has been rock stable, and I have been keeping it running 24/7.

This cable makes super-fast data transfers. I hooked it up to my Xcellon M2NS USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 M.2 SSD Enclosure and was very impressed with the speeds it provided. This cable and an M.2 drive are a match made in heaven and give blazing speeds. It also rated for 8k or dual 4k monitor support which is fantastic. Another nice plus is it is rated to handle 240w power delivery so it can be used to charge or power most accessories (laptops, peripherals etc.). This cable is definitely future proof and ready for whatever you throw at it, including the ability to daisy chain up to 6 additional devices. It is designed to work with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, and USB-C so it is very versatile. The build quality is also fantastic. Cable feels great and is flexible but still sturdy. Connectors seem to be made of quality materials and should last a long, long time. This cable is great. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Feels good, not as stiff as Apple's Thunderbolt Cables and seem to perform well

3 items that do the job.

Great machine...newly used so time will tell...but so far very impressed. Set up was a breeze...and it updated the software quickly within the first hour of turning on. Unit has 2 USB ports and 4 Thunderbolt ports...so...if you plan on hooking up more than 2 USB devices standard way...think again. Get yourself either 4 Thunderbolt USB cables or 4 Thunderbolt Type C to USB extenders cables to hook your standard USB cables to. We purchased the Type C to USB extenders from a third party and they work just fine. Unit is slightly bigger than older previous Mac mini's but the height is shorter on the new ones...so it's a slight compromise...no big deal. Silent operation as usual, HDMI port is a great feature and works flawlessly. We used an existing apple mouse and keyboard which were recognized...although the keyboard wasn't recognized so easily...but somehow seems to be working...so we're going with it. No problems dealing with B&H...fast and reliable company it seems. Will do business with them again in future.
