[ CABLE / ADAPTER RECORD // INTEL THUNDERBOLT 4 CERTIFIED PASSIVE CABLE ]
Thunderbolt 4 Passive USB-C Cable 0.8 m
Reversible USB-C ends; Thunderbolt 4 over USB-C, with USB data, PCIe/DP tunneling and power negotiated by devices.
CLASSIFICATION: Data, peripheral, and high-speed cables. Identify protocol, direction, pinout and exact cable revision before connection.
Interface and capability
| Standard / protocol | Intel Thunderbolt 4 certified passive cable. Connector appearance alone does not establish compatibility. |
|---|---|
| Endpoint / pinout | Reversible USB-C ends; Thunderbolt 4 over USB-C, with USB data, PCIe/DP tunneling and power negotiated by devices. |
| Capability / limits | Intel TB4 minimum: 40 Gbit/s, 100 W charging and 8K display support; 0.8 m passive cable class, verify certification mark. |
| Certification / length | Standards define interface requirements, not every assembly’s performance. Certification, mode, current/power rating, direction and maximum length belong to the exact product/revision and complete channel; verify its manufacturer specification. Do not infer certification from connector shape or marketing terminology. |
Compatibility & handling
- Both endpoints need TB capability for TB features. USB-C appearance alone is not TB certification; host, display and PD limits still apply.
- Inspect connector keying, latch, contact condition, shielding, jacket and model/revision marking. Stop if contacts are bent, loose, scorched, corroded or mismatched.
- Route without tension or sharp bends; follow product bend-radius, strain-relief, current and environmental limits. Test at the intended protocol and mode—physical fit is not a compatibility test.
