OWC Thunderbolt 5 / TB4 USB-4 Cable 1 m — high-speed data and power connection

OWC Thunderbolt 5 / TB4 USB-4 Cable 1 m is a versatile single‑cable solution designed to connect compatible laptops, docks, external drives and displays. With a compact 1 meter length and black finish, the cable supports high‑speed data transfer, video transmission and power delivery over a single connector, simplifying desktop and portable setups while maintaining reliable performance for demanding workflows.

Advantages

The cable combines high bandwidth and power delivery in a single, reversible connector that reduces cable clutter and streamlines connections between devices. Its 1 m length offers a balance between reach and desk tidiness, suitable for both stationary workstations and mobile use. Built to meet modern interface standards, the cable supports multi‑purpose use for data, video and charging tasks without requiring multiple separate cables.

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the USB‑C/Thunderbolt port on your laptop or host device and the other end to a compatible dock, display or external drive. The cable negotiates data, video and power roles automatically according to the connected devices’ capabilities; ensure both endpoints support the required protocol and power profiles for full functionality. For best results, use with devices that explicitly support Thunderbolt 4/5 or USB4 specifications.

Recommendations

Position the cable to avoid tight bends near the connectors and keep it away from sources of heat. When transmitting high data rates or charging at higher power levels, verify that both connected devices support the necessary performance and power profiles to achieve expected throughput and charging speeds.
