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

The StarTech.com A40G2MB-TB4-CABLE Active Thunderbolt 4 cable delivers reliable high-bandwidth connectivity for Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB-C devices. Its integrated active chipset helps minimize signal degradation and maintain consistent 40Gbps data transfer performance for demanding storage, docking, display, and networking applications.

High-Speed Data and Power Delivery

Transfer files up to four times faster than standard 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables when connected to compatible Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB4 devices. The cable supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 with up to 100W for charging compatible laptops and powering displays, plus up to 15W for bus-powered peripherals such as external drive enclosures.

Video and USB-C Compatibility

Support for DisplayPort 1.4a and Display Stream Compression enables up to 8K video at 60Hz or dual 4K displays at 60Hz with compatible equipment. The reversible USB-C connector design works with USB Type-C devices, including MacBook and Chromebook laptops, iPad Pro models, portable hard drives, docking stations, and UHD monitors. It also supports PCI Express 3.0 connectivity for compatible external PCIe devices.

Built for Reliable Connectivity

Intel Thunderbolt certification helps ensure compatibility with Thunderbolt hosts and peripherals. Coaxial wiring, a braided alloy shield, and tinned copper shielding help reduce electromagnetic interference, while robust connector strain reliefs improve durability during everyday use. Use the cable to connect a laptop to a docking station or display, extend a Thunderbolt or USB-C setup, daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt devices, create peer-to-peer 10GbE networking, or migrate data between compatible computers, including Apple M1, M2, and M3 Max or Pro MacBooks.
