This cable is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 devices, making it a versatile choice for any USB-C setup. At 1 meter in length, it strikes a good balance between desktop convenience and portability.

Product Info

Released in late 2025, this cable is available on Japan for around ¥1,869 (tax included) — an aggressive price for an 80Gbps USB4 cable. Cable Matters offers a standard product warranty (typically 1–2 years); check the official site for exact terms. The package includes only the cable, no additional accessories. Market positioning: mid-high tier with flagship bandwidth at a budget-friendly price. While 80Gbps cables are still rare, this one undercuts most competitors by a wide margin while maintaining Thunderbolt 5 compatibility.

Best Use Cases

Thunderbolt 5 laptop owners: If you have a recent Intel Core Ultra 200V-series notebook with Thunderbolt 5, this cable unlocks the full 80Gbps speed for external SSDs and docks. No more bottlenecking your workflow. Creative professionals and video editors: Connect an 8K monitor or high-refresh-rate display while simultaneously charging your laptop at 240W — all with one cable. Clean desk, fewer adapters. Frequent travelers: The 1m length is easy to pack, and the braided jacket resists tangling and fraying. One cable covers charging, data, and video for your laptop, portable monitor, and dock. Budget-conscious PC enthusiasts: Many 80Gbps USB4 cables cost ¥5,000 or more. This one delivers the same specs for under ¥2,000, making it a no-brainer upgrade for anyone with a compatible device. If you only use USB 2.0 or 3.0 devices, this cable is overkill. Also, if 1m feels too short, consider the 2m variant from the same series.
