    It was a solid cable that I got to replace the cheap cable that came with an Ivanky docking stating for my Mac Book Pro M2. Could not be more pleased with it stable and no flickering on the screen and infact I think its better than the Apple thunderbolt cable

    I bought this item to connect my Apollo Twin X audio interface to my Mac. It has worked seamlessly. I was wary of the price at first but the quality it provides and the fact that it also will charge your macbook makes it well worth the cost.

    Perfect to connect my MacBook with my Studio Display. High quality item, display was clean, crisp and responsive. I would purchase this again but I don’t think I’ll need to because the quality is so good.

    Super sturdy, which is nice normally the plastic white cords seem to fray or break out a connection or get kicked up the connections are very firm and the length is great for connecting things that aren’t normally easy to connect. I highly recommend it.

    Perfect Thunderbolt 4 Cable

    Insignia has released a new product for everyday use - a durable, high-speed Thunderbolt 4 cable. The box includes the cable and quick user guide. The cable comes with a manufacturer's 1-year warranty. PROS: ----------- * Very durable feel with the nylon-braided material on the outside. * Speed is through the roof with the latest Thunderbolt 4 specs - 40Gpbs which can not only handle high data speeds for external hard drives, but also with monitor connections at high data rates. It can handle up to 8K Ultra HD monitors at 60Hz, but even better with 4K monitors at 240Hz if your monitor is capable of that. The cable can still handle 2 4K monitors at 60Hz... for gamers, the 1-monitor setup may be preferred due to the high refresh rate. * I have a mini projector that can connect to Android cell phones, and this cable is rated to handle this data connection. I have a number of USBC cables that simply can't handle it due to cable limitations, but this one is rock-solid and has good length so the phone doesn't have to be super close to the projector. * Cable is shielded to help prevent RF interference which can be prevalent in some situations. This is important especially if connected to monitors that demand high data rates. * The standard for Thunderbolt 4 power capabilities is 100W; however, this cable can handle up to 240W, a big upgrade compared to the basic Thunderbolt 4 standards. CONS: ----------- * The cable does not come with a built-in velcro tie attached. That would be a nice feature to have since these cables don't stay wound up easily when not in use. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ----------- * Each end of the USB-C cable is marked with a 4 which designates Thunderbolt 4 technology. Be sure to check the new standards for USB-C cabling so you'll know what each USB-C cable is capable of. Currently, TB4 is the latest and greatest USB-C cable available, and it will handle Thunderbolt levels prior to 4 as well. CONCLUSION: ===================== I use the cable for video transmission to a 4K monitor and also my Android device to mini projector. I am quite happy with the results. I have had NO issues with video transmission. Refresh rate is crazy good, and the good physical quality of the cable can clearly be felt when handling. It's a simple product, but one that is needed when quality and performance are demanded by the hardware used. I would definitely recommend and get another one in the future.

    The Insignia Thunderbolt 4 cable is one size fits all solution. Below are my thoughts: [PROS] Durability and Design: The cable is thick enough to protect the internals from damaging, but the braided jacket allows it to be flexible for storage. Charging Speed: I didn't have a device to test the advertised speed of 240W, but I am able to verify that charging works successfully above 60W. Transfer Speed: I backup a lot of data so I value transfer speed greatly. I was able to maintain transfer speeds within the GBps range to my external SSD before the device started getting too warm. Since I own another Thunderbolt 4 cable, I was able to verify that both provided similar performance. [CONS] Length: Being 3.28ft long is average length of a standard cable. However, I believe that extending the size to 5ft would allow the cable to accommodate for different situations such a monitor setups and using your phone or mobile device without having to sit near an AC outlet. [CONCLUSION] This Thunderbolt 4 cable is pretty much for everything. In an ever evolving tech world, it's important to be able to have something to address every scenario you may face. I would highly recommend this cable.

    Flawless and Fast Thunderbolt 4 Cable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great cable. It’s fast, it’s easy to find among my other cables (thanks to the color coding) and has a nice woven cable. There isn’t a lot to go over here, it’s a cable after all… but I needed it to be both noticeably faster than my standard USB-C cables, portable and well made - and luckily it’s all of those things. To check that it was actually a worthwhile improvement, I did a test using an external SSD connected to my fairly new (at this time) M2 Pro Mac Mini via a Thunderbolt 4 port. - With the standard USB-C cable, my nearly 20gb file transfer took about 11 minutes, quite a long time… - With this cable, that same 20gb file to the same drive took only around 3.5 minutes! Much better and a great time saver for situations like this. If you’re moving large files around - whether that be photos, videos or simply large work files, you’ll see a big improvement. Note that the port you connect to may also introduce a bottleneck to transfer speeds, but this cable is ready to save you time when your technology/device is capable of these speeds. In addition to file transfer, this cable also boasts much better charging throughput! - When connected to high-powered ports, it can move more electrons to charge your stuff more quickly. In terms of design, it is slightly more rigid than other cables. But since it’s not very long at about 3+ feet, it’s plenty portable and I have no issues in looping it into a bag. The woven exterior is also a nice, professional touch while the purple ends make finding this capable cable easier amongst my others. Overall: Great cable, great design. Future proofed with ability to handle all USB-C needs. I’d recommend! Good Stuff: - Real-world speed boosts - Great charging capability - Identifying color ends - Modern style w/ woven cable - Priced right Less than Good Stuff: - Less flexible than most other cables (due to thicker internal wires), but still feels portable due to shorter length

    This Insignia Thunderbolf 4 cable is a beast! It has performed well in every function so far. It is a fast charge and data transfer cable. It works very well as a video cable, and it feels heavy-duty enough to last for 10 years or more! I have used this cable to charge many devices. My iPhone 15 Pro Max, Google Pixel 8 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Macbook Pro, iPad Pro 12.9, Galaxy Tab S7, my Dell work laptop, and a few other devices. Yes, I know I have a phone problem, lol. The charging speeds on these devices are as fast as any cable I've ever used. Since Apple just invented USB-C charging ports on phones ;) I have done some experimenting by connecting it with my Android phones. The Samsung usually charges the iPhone but the iPhone usually charges the Pixel for some reason. They charge each other fairly slow with any cable though. I Have used the Insignia cable to extend my laptop display (both the MacBook and the Dell) to a portable LCD monitor and it has worked well. It looks good but I can't speak to the 4K/8K capabilities since my portable monitor only goes up to 1080p. The cable is flexible but very strong. I don't think you can wear it out easily. I would recommend this for those "power users" who can't put their phones down long enough to charge. I know my kids have worn out cables because they charge while they use them and they bend the cables until they fray and fall apart.

    This cable is my go to for when I need a fast transfer or a fast charge. 240W outdoes any charger I have, so I'm never worried about it, and even when connected to a non-thunderbolt usb-c port it always allows for the maximum speeds. My only downside is that the 3.3ft is on the shorter side, and I wish this came in a 2m version. Build quality is on point and I always feel like it's locked in bet

It’s great to know the build quality gives you confidence and that it consistently delivers top speeds, even with non-Thunderbolt ports. We appreciate your input about the length—your suggestion for a longer version is valuable and will be shared with our team.

    Using this as a replacement cable for my Razer Thunderbolt 4 dock. The dock outputs to two 4k monitors and a few USB-A docks, and I have had no issues with any devices disconnecting during usage even if it gets jostled a bit.

    Talk about a cable that's got the juice! This Insignia Thunderbolt 4 isn't just a cable; it's a portal to the fast lane of data transfer, power delivery, and screen resolutions that'll make your eyes pop. 8K display? Check. 40Gbps speed? Faster than my last relationship. And 240W power delivery? It could probably jump-start a Tesla if you're daring enough. The sleek black/gray design blends in like a stealth fighter in a midnight sky, and its 1m length is just right – long enough to reach, but not so long you're tripping over it like it's a scene from 'The Bachelorette'. Insignia's Thunderbolt 4 cable is the unsung hero in my setup, making everything run smoother than a well-oiled droid. If cables could get a knighthood, this one would be Sir Zapsalot. Buy it, love it, live it!
