Product Information

Full details

The Startech TBLT5MM50CM240WWH is an Intel-certified Thunderbolt 5 cable designed for professionals and power users requiring the highest performance for data transfer, display output, and charging. Its key benefit is delivering up to 80Gb/s bi-directional bandwidth (boosting to 120Gb/s for specific tasks) and 240W Power Delivery over a single connection, enabling seamless use of high-resolution displays and demanding peripherals. A potential caveat is that its full capabilities are only realized with Thunderbolt 5-enabled devices; performance with older standards will be limited by those standards.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

The cable supports up to 80Gbps bi-directional bandwidth. In Boost Mode, it can achieve 120Gbps for transmission and 40Gbps for reception, ideal for display-intensive tasks.

Can this cable charge my laptop?

Yes, it supports USB Power Delivery (PD) up to 240W (EPR), which is sufficient for most high-performance laptops.

What resolutions can this cable support?

It supports up to 8K (7680 x 4320) at 60Hz or 4K (3840 x 2160) at 240Hz, utilizing DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode with DSC, HDR, and 10-bit color.

Is this cable compatible with Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 devices?

Yes, it is backward compatible. It will operate at Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps), USB4 (40Gbps), or USB 3.2 speeds depending on the connected device.

What does 'Intel Thunderbolt Certified' mean?

It means the cable has undergone rigorous testing by Intel to ensure it meets the performance, quality, and compatibility standards required for Thunderbolt 5 connectivity.

How durable is this cable?

The cable features a TPE jacket tested for 2,000 bending cycles, nickel-plated connectors rated for over 10,000 insertions, and braided alloy shielding to minimize EMI and ensure long-term reliability.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 0.5 meters (approximately 1.6 feet) long.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or data transfer is slow

Ensure both devices and ports are Thunderbolt 5/4/USB4. Try connecting to a different port on the host device. Restart both devices. Verify the cable is fully seated in the ports.

Display not working or showing at lower resolution/refresh rate

Confirm the display and the host device both support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the cable is connected to a Thunderbolt 5 port that supports DP Alt Mode. Test with a different display or cable if possible.

Laptop not charging or charging slowly

Verify the laptop supports USB Power Delivery (PD) up to 240W. Ensure the cable is connected to a Thunderbolt 5 port on the laptop that supports PD. Check if the power adapter connected to the laptop or dock also supports the required wattage.

Intermittent connection or signal dropping

Check for potential sources of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). Ensure the cable is not damaged and connectors are clean. Try a shorter cable or repositioning to minimize interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional data transfer speeds up to 80Gbps, with a boost mode for even higher transmission rates.
  • Supports up to 240W Power Delivery, ideal for charging demanding laptops.
  • Enables high-resolution display output, including up to 8K 60Hz.
  • Intel Thunderbolt certification ensures guaranteed performance and compatibility.
  • Backward compatible with previous Thunderbolt and USB standards.
  • Robust and durable design for long-term reliability.

Cons

  • Requires Thunderbolt 5-enabled host devices to achieve maximum speeds and features.
  • The 120Gbps Boost Mode is asymmetric (120Gbps transmit/40Gbps receive), which may not be optimal for all simultaneous high-bandwidth tasks.
  • Premium performance comes at a higher price point compared to standard USB-C cables.
  • At 0.5 meters, the cable length might be restrictive for some desk setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your host device (laptop, docking station) and peripheral device are Thunderbolt 5 or compatible Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 ports.
  2. Connect the cable securely to the Thunderbolt 5 ports on both devices.
  3. For charging, ensure the connected device supports USB Power Delivery up to 240W.

Compatibility:

  • Thunderbolt 5: Full 80Gbps bidirectional, 120Gbps boost mode, 240W PD, 8K 60Hz video.
  • Thunderbolt 4/3: Operates at Thunderbolt 4 speeds (40Gbps bidirectional), supports DP Alt Mode and USB PD up to 100W.
  • USB4: Operates at USB4 speeds (up to 40Gbps).
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps): Operates at USB 3.2 speeds.
  • DisplayPort 2.1: Supports high resolutions and refresh rates when used with compatible DP 2.1 devices.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • To clean the connectors, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or solvents.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent damage to the internal conductors and the TPE jacket. Avoid sharp bends.
  • The TPE jacket is designed for durability, but repeated sharp bends or kinks can still cause wear over time.
