Maxonar [1Ft] Thunderbolt 4 Cable, Short Thunderbolt Cable 40Gbps with 240W Charging and 8K/5K@60Hz Compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3, USB4, and USB C

Awesome, works great for laptop dock (Lenovo ThinkPad) where "regular" USB-C cable didn't. (As expected, from reading tech support forums.) Nice cable, will probably buy a few more; the price is right.

I got this 6.6FT cable to connect my Nikon Z9 to a Macbook Pro for tethered photo shooting using Lightroom. It works perfectly. The cable appears to be sturdy and well made. A long plastic holder cradles the cable where it enters the plugs at each end, which looks like it will do a good job preventing any separation issues. The plugs are each marked with a small "4". I do wish they also had a Thunderbolt icon, but that is a nit.

My previous experience with a Maxonar product was with an HDMI-to-display port adapter. It worked great for several years. I decided to try them again since I needed a durable, quality USB-C cable that delivers the flexibility to connect to different USB-C devices, charge at high rates, and communicate using the latest USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 standards. I have a 2020 Mac Mini, 2024 Macbook Air, Google Pixel, iPhone, and iPad. I use a Thunderbolt 4 dock and a monitor with a USB-C port that supports power delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode.I have not had any trouble interconnecting any of those devices in several configurations. I've reached the maximum charge for the devices that require charging. It's a thick cable that feels well-built and so far has handled everyday use. While I lack testing equipment to verify full compatibility with USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 standards, I have not encountered any behavior suggesting incompatibility that would impact my use cases. My data transfer speeds are at the expected speeds for the respective hardware.While it can charge all my phones and tablets to up to 100W, I cannot charge my phones with a case on because the connector housing is too large to fit through a phone case's port opening. But this cable wasn't intended for phones. It was made for computers, hard drives, connecting monitors, etc. It does all that very well so far.I like the packaging and presentation. It's nicely packed in a well-presented box instead of loose in a thin zip-lock-type bag. The connectors were protected with plastic covers. I recommend this to anyone who needs a well-built USB-C cable that supports USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 but doesn't want to break the bank.

So they seem to work well and look very durable. Be careful when you order these and make sure you're getting the correct one USB A or C depending upon which one you need for your connection. I love the compatibility of these. Cable length is just right. I like the feel of these kind of a braided cloth material. I think the durability of these will be good. I love taking a few of these with us on vacation with us because we have a plug to connect everything. Hope this helps you make a decision on whether or not these are for you. Thanks for reading my review.

So far so good for the price

Not much to say except that they are durable, flexible, decent length, and appear to be overall high quality cable. I can confirm that these are indeed USB 4 Thunderbolt Cables, they work perfectly, no connector issues, I imagine they will last a long time. Some of the cables on here are definitely not Thunderbolt 4 even though they are described as such, which is very frustrating. But these are great!

I was using a "high-speed usb-c" cable to migrate a 1 terabyte hard drive from a Macbook Air to a new MacBook Pro. After 5 hours, it still wasn't finished. I purchased these thunderbolt cables and started from scratch with the transfer. This time, I think it took about 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it. I never used a thunderbolt cable before. What a difference. If you have thunderbolt ports, get a thunderbolt cable and enjoy the speed.

I can't speak to their ability to transfer data, but I'd been using them as rapid charging cables for 6 weeks when they suddenly (in the middle of my work day) started disconnecting about every second or two no matter how firmly I held them in place. I babied them too! They were hardly touched the whole 6 weeks except to plug one end into my laptop at my desk, and the cords/connectors were never bumped or under strain. And yet, they're totally useless now. Don't waste your money on these unless you only need cables for a month or so.
