Optical Cables by Corning Thunderbolt 3 Optical Cable (82')

Optical Cables by Corning Thunderbolt 3 Optical Cable (82') is a 25 m optical Thunderbolt 3 cable built for systems where the computer and connected hardware cannot sit close together. It carries data at up to 40 Gb/s, giving editors, engineers, and production teams a way to place compatible Thunderbolt equipment farther from the host without relying on a long conventional copper run.

USB-C male connectors are fitted at both ends, while the signal travels through an optical cable designed for greater distance. Its all-dielectric construction provides enhanced galvanic isolation between connected equipment, and automatic thermal shutdown adds protection during operation. The cable is also listed for use with Mac systems.

Highlights

• 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 performance – carries high-speed data between compatible devices at the listed Thunderbolt 3 rate
• 25 m optical cable run – extends the connection to 82' for equipment that needs to be positioned away from the host workstation
• USB-C male at both ends – provides a direct Thunderbolt 3 connection between compatible hardware
• Enhanced galvanic isolation – the all-dielectric optical design adds electrical separation between connected devices
• Automatic thermal shutdown – provides built-in protection if the cable electronics reach excessive temperature

Why It Helps

In a production or post room, the computer and the high-speed peripheral do not always belong on the same desk. Storage, interface hardware, or other Thunderbolt devices may need to sit in a rack or another part of the room. This 25 m optical run gives the system designer much more freedom to place that equipment where it actually makes sense.

The optical construction is also useful in installations where electrical separation matters. The cable's all-dielectric design provides enhanced galvanic isolation between the two connected devices while still carrying Thunderbolt 3 data at up to 40 Gb/s.

The connection itself stays simple: USB-C at the host, USB-C at the device, and one continuous cable between them. Automatic thermal shutdown is built in as an added protection measure, which is useful for technical environments where the cable may remain installed for long operating periods.
