"Apple's 3-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable is an eye-watering $159, which makes the smaller Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable seem cheap at just $69. But that's still a lot of money for a cable. Also: Keep forgetting where you parked? I found a charger that remembers for you You can do better. Satetchi's Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable is the perfect combination of quality, performance, durability, and price -- just $40."
"Thunderbolt 5 cables are expected to do a lot. They need to be able to handle 240W (48V at 5A) of power (the maximum supported by the USB Power Delivery 3.1 EPR standard), 8K video transmission at 60Hz, or three displays running 4K at 144Hz (macOS is limited to 6K). Additionally, they need to be able to handle 120Gb/s of data bandwidth unidirectional and 80Gb/s bi-directional."
Satechi's Thunderbolt 5 Pro cable retails for $40 and provides certification for Thunderbolt 5 while remaining backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB3.2/3.1. The cable supports up to 240W (48V at 5A) power delivery, 8K video transmission at 60Hz, or three 4K displays at 144Hz (macOS limited to 6K). It delivers up to 120Gb/s unidirectional and 80Gb/s bi-directional data bandwidth. The cable measures one meter to avoid signal degradation and features a thick braided nylon sheath for abrasion resistance and tangle resistance, offering strong performance and value compared with pricier alternatives.
