Cables

A growing library of USB-C and Thunderbolt cables, with the data speed, power rating, and what each one's e-marker chip actually reports. The brand on the sleeve is rarely the vendor in the silicon.

Every cable here is documented by what it actually is: its data speed, its power rating, and what its e-marker chip reports to a Mac. High-speed and high-power cables carry that chip, and it names the company that made the silicon, not always the brand on the sleeve.

  • OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cable (80 Gbps, 240W): Inside the E-Marker

    A passive 1m Thunderbolt 5 cable: 80 Gbps of data and 240W of power. Its e-marker names the maker as Lintes Technology, not OWC - the chip vendor, not the brand on the sleeve.

    A passive 0.7m Thunderbolt 4 cable: 40 Gbps of data and the full 240W of power. Like its Thunderbolt 5 sibling, its e-marker names Lintes Technology, not OWC.
