The company also said it would release a 3-meter version of that cable soon, and now it&#8217;s officially available to purchase. Apple&#8217;s 3-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable will set you back a cool $159&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span ><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Apple is doing as much as it can to justify the $159 price point of the new ten-foot Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable. It features a high-quality braided design that is meant to prevent coiling. It supports Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB 4 data transfers up to 40Gb\/s, and USB 3. 1 Gen 2 transfers up to 10 Gb\/s. <\/p>\n<p>Similar to previous Thunderbolt 3 cables, the new cable also supports DisplayPort video with High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) video output, along with power delivery up to 100W. Here are the full specs of the cable according to Apple: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transfer data at up to 40Gb\/s<\/li>\n<li>USB 3. 1 Gen 2 data transfer at up to 10Gb\/s<\/li>\n<li>DisplayPort video output (HBR3)<\/li>\n<li>Connect to Thunderbolt (USB-C) and USB devices and displays<\/li>\n<li>Up to 100 watts of power delivery<\/li>\n<li>Braided design that coils without tangling<\/li>\n<li>Thunderbolt logo helps it stand out from other cables<\/li>\n<li>Daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The availability of the new 3-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable was first spotted by <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macg.co\/materiel\/2022\/05\/apple-store-le-cable-thunderbolt-4-pro-de-3-metres-est-disponible-128805\">MacGeneration<\/a><\/em>. The specifications of most Thunderbolt 4 cables you&#8217;ll buy are the same, but what sets Apple&#8217;s new offering apart is the longer 10-foot design. A teardown also highlighted other differences between Apple&#8217;s cable and those from competitors. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the new Apple Mac Studio does not come with any Thunderbolt cables. The Studio Display does include a Thunderbolt cable, but it is just 1-meter long. <\/p>\n<p>While Apple&#8217;s Thunderbolt 4 Pro cables are certainly nice and premium, there are more affordable options on the market. Most notably, OWC sells Thunderbolt 4 cables in three different sizes, and they are cheaper than Apple&#8217;s option across the board. You can pick up the 0. 7m cable for $24, the 1m cable for $34, and the 2m cable for $57. <\/p>\n<p>If you think Apple&#8217;s cables are worth the premium, or you want one that&#8217;s longer than what OWC offers, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MN713AM\/A\/thunderbolt-4-pro-cable-18-m\">you can order<\/a> the 1. 8-meter version for $129 and the 3-meter version for $159. Orders will arrive as soon as next week, while the cables are also widely available from Apple retail stores. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><!-- youtube embed -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/apple-thuderbolt-4-pro-cable.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/05\/04\/apple-thuderbolt-4-pro-cable-longer\/<\/div>\n<p><\/wordaidoc><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple now selling braided 3-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable for $159 Alongside the Studio Display and Mac Studio announcement last month, Apple also started selling a new 1. 8-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable.
