I don’t usually get open-box items but this was at such a discount I thought “why not.” The Thunderbolt 4 cable has worked perfect and has never given me issues. Thank you so much

Such a good buy! Made my ssd T7 shield super fast for my MAC M3. I’m happy I did my research before I bought, and stumbled upon this product along the way (save me much needed cash on ext. ssds).

After some trial and error, I decided to go with the Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable, and it’s been a fantastic solution for getting the most out of my LG UltraGear 45” Ultrawide OLED, especially at the 240Hz refresh rate. I’m running this setup with my M1 Mac, and here’s what I’ve experienced:
Why the Thunderbolt 4 Cable?
When I first got the LG Ultrawide, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to fully utilize the 240Hz refresh rate with the M1 Mac. I knew Thunderbolt would be key since USB-C just wasn’t cutting it for maintaining high refresh rates at this resolution. That’s when I tried the Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable, and it made all the difference.
Getting 240Hz Smoothness
With the Thunderbolt 4 Pro, I’m able to hit 240Hz on the LG Ultrawide with no hiccups. It really brings out the smoothness in fast-moving content, whether I’m gaming or editing videos. Everything is incredibly fluid, and the difference compared to using a regular USB-C cable is very noticeable.
Perfect for My M1 Mac
I was a bit skeptical about how well the M1 would handle the Ultrawide’s full capabilities, but this cable unlocked its full potential. Whether I’m working across multiple apps or playing around with graphics-heavy content, it’s able to sustain the high refresh rate without breaking a sweat. No stuttering or refresh issues at all.
Reliable Build Quality
Apple’s Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable isn’t cheap, but the build quality is top-notch. It feels sturdy, and I can tell it’s going to last for a long time. I also appreciate that the cable length (I got the 1.8-meter version) gives me flexibility without cluttering my workspace. Plus, the braided design keeps it tangle-free.
Final Thoughts
The Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable is an investment, but it’s worth it if you’re trying to get the most out of a high-performance monitor like the LG Ultrawide. It’s been perfect for maintaining 240Hz with my M1 Mac, and the reliability and build quality mean I won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. If you’re looking to push your display to its full potential, this cable is a no-brainer.

At first thought, this has to be a scam. After doing much research, I have learned that there is a microprocessor in this cable. It is a key ingredient that allows the increased bandwidth and performance of Thunderbolt 4. It is INDEED very expensive. However, I have seen first hand its' performance upgrade. Key items in my system function much better with this cable. To add, be cautious not to purchase a fake Thunderbolt 4 cable. There are quite a few available online at much lower cost.

This Thunderbolt 4 cable is the best I’ve used. It’s well-braided and performs as advertised. It works flawlessly with a Mac, monitor, or other peripherals.

Very fast data transfer. I was able to transfer +32 GBs worth of videos into my SSD in less than a minute Good for charging too but wouldn’t recommend it just for that.

This cord is great. It feels really premium and sturdy. Unlike most cords this one feels like it can last for years. Downloads are blazing fast. The only thing that is a downside is the initial cost. But you wont need to be replacing it every six months to a year.

The build quality is amazing. It feels premium and solid. I use this cable for my Macbook and surface to connect to a portable monitor. I have had no latency or any issues. It also has the ability to charge while plugged in. Excellent cord that I will gladly recommend. The price is a bit steep for a cable, but if you can afford it, I say go for it!

Insanely expensive but totally worth it if your phone can handle the power. Charge time went from 2 hours or so to 30-50 minutes. Absolutely worth it if you value your time.

Well constructed and assembled. It should be $49 based on the fact that this is a passive cable. But it meets the thresholds for quality if you take the time to view one of the tear down videos

Very versatile & durable, you can get a cheaper alternative, however the amount of features this cable is capable of is a life saver, worth it if you have alot of devices using usb-c & need as a charger, data transfer, or for a monitor or tv, & plenty of other features.

The price on this is a bit high but the quality of the charger is great. You can tell that the quality is what you would expect from an Apple brand charging cable and it's awesome to have one in black instead of the normal white.
