OWC0.3M Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) Cable, up to 80Gb/s of bi-Directional Data Speed, up to 120Gb/s for Higher Display Bandwidth, 240W

Not all cables are created equal. I’m using these with fast SSDs and an M3 Ultra Mac Studio, and they perform flawlessly. The build quality is excellent, and transfer speeds are consistently reliable. Couldn’t ask for more from a cable. Definitely a worthy buy—I’ll be getting more in the future!

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.

Great cable! Works very well and has a great transfer speed!

Hooked up a 4TB external SSD hard drive. Used the cord that came with the drive. Noticed my speed test was no where near the capabilities of the SSD or my computer. This was a great choice. If your computer and external drive can utilize this cord, my speed test almost tripled. The length is great as I do not need a lot of cord to wind out of my way. Connections are tight. Great value for the speed return.

It’s good. Also expensive. You get what you pay for.

Short and expensive. Works well on Mac Studio M4 Max

The OWC 28-Inch Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C Cable is an excellent choice for anyone needing fast data transfer speeds. With 40Gbps data transfer, it’s perfect for high-performance tasks like video editing or transferring large files. The cable is well-constructed, flexible, and works flawlessly with compatible devices. If you need a high-quality cable for Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C connections, this one is highly recommended!

High quality and just works great!
