Frequently Asked Questions
Can this 1-meter passive Thunderbolt 3 cable support two 4K monitors simultaneously?
This 1-meter passive Thunderbolt 3 cable supports a single 4K monitor at 60Hz. For dual 4K monitor setups, an active Thunderbolt 3 cable or a Thunderbolt 3 dock with multiple display outputs is typically required.
Is this cable compatible with USB-C ports that are not Thunderbolt 3 enabled?
Yes, this Thunderbolt 3 cable is backward compatible with USB-C ports, but it will operate at the lower USB-C data transfer speeds, not the full 20 Gbps Thunderbolt 3 rate. It will still provide power delivery and video if the USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
What is the maximum power delivery supported by this Thunderbolt 3 cable?
While the specific power delivery (PD) wattage is not listed, Thunderbolt 3 cables typically support up to 100W of power delivery, sufficient for charging most laptops and powering peripherals. The actual wattage depends on the connected host and device.
Can this cable be used to connect an external GPU enclosure to a laptop?
Yes, this 1-meter passive Thunderbolt 3 cable is suitable for connecting an external GPU enclosure to a Thunderbolt 3-enabled laptop, leveraging the 20 Gbps bandwidth for enhanced graphics performance.
