Thunderbolt 5 cable MicroConnect MC-TB5CC15 15 m, 40 Gbps

MicroConnect MC-TB5CC15 is a 15 m Thunderbolt 5 cable that supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer for long-reach, high-bandwidth connections. Engineered for compatibility with Thunderbolt 5-capable hosts and peripherals, this cable enables reliable point-to-point links between computers, external storage, displays and docking stations while maintaining signal integrity across its extended length.

Advantages

The cable delivers up to 40 Gbps throughput over a 15 m passive design, allowing data-intensive applications to operate without the need for active repeaters. Its connector compatibility supports Thunderbolt 5 transfer modes and common USB/Display alternative modes used by compatible devices. The construction focuses on stable performance, minimized latency and a single-cable approach for simplifying workstation and media-creation setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting external NVMe or RAID storage to workstations for large file transfers and backups
• Linking computers to high-resolution displays or display arrays where extended cable length is required
• Integrating docks and hubs located farther from the host computer while keeping high data throughput
• Professional audio/video production environments requiring long, consistent connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: Thunderbolt 5 (compatible connector profile)
• Maximum data transfer: up to 40 Gbps
• Length: 15 meters
• Cable design: passive, shielded for signal integrity over long reach
• Supported modes: high-speed data and display alternate modes for compatible devices

How to use

Connect one end of the Thunderbolt 5 cable to the Thunderbolt/USB-C port on the host computer and the other end to the compatible peripheral such as an external SSD enclosure, display or docking station. Ensure both devices support the required Thunderbolt or USB-C alternate modes for the intended function (data, display, or combined). After connection, confirm that the host OS recognises the device and that any required drivers or firmware updates are installed for optimal performance.

Recommendations

Place the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain gentle curves and secure routing to prevent strain on connectors. For mission-critical workflows, verify device compatibility and firmware versions before deployment and consider controlled environmental routing to reduce interference. Use certified ports on both ends to achieve the specified 40 Gbps performance.
