Microconnect TB3010 Thunderbolt Cable 1 m 40 Gbit/s Black

The MicroConnect TB3010 Thunderbolt cable (1 m) is a black, dual‑male cable designed for high-speed connections between Thunderbolt 3/USB-C devices. It uses an Intel Thunderbolt chipset and RoHS‑compliant components to provide reliable performance for data transfer, video output and power delivery when connected to compatible Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Advantages

The cable supports up to 40 Gbit/s over Thunderbolt 3 connections and can deliver up to 100 W power for charging compatible devices. It supports dual 4K60 video when connected to Thunderbolt ports and is built with coaxial conductors, ultra-fine tinned copper and TEFLON insulation for reduced interference and improved durability. The 1 m length and male-to-male connectors ensure a secure, portable link between devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting Thunderbolt 3 docks, eGPU enclosures and PCI‑E expansion units
• High-speed file transfer between computers and Thunderbolt storage devices
• Driving dual 4K60 displays from a Thunderbolt 3 host
• Providing up to 100 W power delivery to charge compatible laptops and peripherals
• Use with Thunderbolt‑capable workstations and laptops (e.g., MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad)

• Video: dual 4K @60Hz via Thunderbolt 3; single 4K via USB‑C Alt Mode (if supported by host)
• Power delivery: up to 100 W
• Length: 1 m
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Color: Black
• Compliance: RoHS

How to use

Connect one male Thunderbolt 3/USB‑C end to the Thunderbolt port of your host device and the other end to the target device (dock, eGPU, external drive or display). For full 40 Gbit/s throughput and dual 4K60 video, use Thunderbolt 3 ports on both host and device. If connecting to a USB‑C port, verify that the port supports the required USB version or DisplayPort Alt Mode for desired data or video functionality. Ensure cables and ports are free of damage and insert connectors straight to avoid mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Use the TB3010 with devices that explicitly support Thunderbolt 3 to achieve the stated 40 Gbit/s speeds and dual 4K60 video. When using a regular USB‑C (non‑Thunderbolt) port, expect reduced data rates (up to USB version limits) and limited video output (typically a single 4K display if Alt Mode is supported). Avoid using the cable with non‑compatible Type‑C ports.
