It carries Thunderbolt 3 data at up to 40 Gb\/s, giving production, post, and technical workstations a high-bandwidth link between devices without placing everything within arm's reach of the host.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe cable uses USB-C male connectors at both ends and an optical signal path through the 5 m run. Enhanced galvanic isolation adds electrical separation between connected equipment, while automatic thermal shutdown provides an additional protection feature inside the cable system.

A 5 m optical run gives engineers and editors more freedom to place storage, interfaces, or other compatible hardware where it makes sense instead of arranging the room around a short cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe optical design is also useful when electrical separation matters. Enhanced galvanic isolation helps keep the connected endpoints electrically isolated from one another while the Thunderbolt data continues across the fiber link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFor day-to-day technical use, the connection remains straightforward: USB-C at the host, USB-C at the device, and up to 40 Gb\/s available across the cable.
