OREANDA-NEWS. Based on Intel's Thunderbolt 3* technology, the new Thunderbolt 3 cable with the new USB Type-C connector enables 40 Gbps bi-directional data transmission and reversible connectivity. The cable supports up to 100 W power delivery and multiple data protocols such as USB 2.0 (4.8 Mbps), USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), Gen 2 (10 Gbps), DisplayPort 1.2, and PCI Express.

The new Thunderbolt 3 cables enable high-speed user experiences like never before: single-cable docking, multiple 4K video displays, external graphics for high speed gaming, and Thunderbolt networking between computers.

All Thunderbolt products undergo certification to ensure optimal operation and end-user experience.
