Overview
Thunderbolt Optical Cables by Corning are the highest-quality solution if you're a video pro who demands peak cable performance with your Mac systems. The cable's optic technology uses the brilliance of light to deliver high-volume HD video, audio, and other data over incredibly long distances that ordinary cables simply can't.
Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices via one simple port and a cable that carries both DisplayPort and PCI Express data. And it’s standard on every Mac.
PCI Express is the technology that links all the high-performance components in a Mac. And it’s built into Thunderbolt, which means you can get PCI Express speed outside the box.
Thunderbolt gives you up to 10 Gbps in both directions, allowing for super-fast data transfer between peripherals. You also have enough bandwidth to daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub or switch.
Thunderbolt also provides double the power of USB 3.0, delivering 10 watts to peripherals for improved performance on the go.
Highlights
10 Gbit/s bi-directional, dual channel with Thunderbolt
Compatible with Thunderbolt 2, 20 Gbit/s
Data and video on a single cable
Daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt devices
Ultra-slim, "zero-bend" radius cable
Hot swappable
Electrically isolated, noise-reducing design
Class 1 Laser Product
