SABRENT Thunderbolt 4 cable 2M

A basic USB-C cable may be enough for charging, but this SABRENT Thunderbolt 4 cable is aimed at setups where charging, fast data transfer, and video support matter together. It is 2 meters long and supports up to 100W Power Delivery and data speeds up to 40Gbps. For a compatible laptop-and-display setup, that can mean fewer cables across the desk, the results still depend on what the connected devices and ports support.

Technical details

The cable is certified for Thunderbolt 4 and supports Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and backward compatibility with USB Type-C. It supports up to 100W charging, with up to 5 amps at 20V, and is compliant with USB PD 3.0. An E-Marker is included.

For video, it supports DisplayPort 1.4 over USB, with 8K at 60Hz or dual 4K at 60Hz listed as supported modes. Data transfer is rated up to 40Gbps. Those are capability limits, not a guarantee that every laptop, display, or port will deliver every mode. If the main job is ordinary charging, a simpler cable may cover that need, this one is more relevant when you also want high-bandwidth data or display support.

What it works with

The listed compatibility includes Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3, plus USB4 and USB Type-C. The product name also identifies MacBook, iPad, and PC, but the connection still needs to match the device’s available port and supported functions. For example, connecting a compatible laptop to a display could let the cable carry the video signal while also handling charging, rather than relying on separate cables for each task.

It makes sense if your setup calls for a 2-meter cable with high-speed data, charging up to 100W, or DisplayPort video support. It might not be a great match if you only need a short, basic charging lead or your devices do not support the Thunderbolt, USB4, or video features you want to use. From the way it is set up, its appeal is versatility across compatible connections, not extra functions for every USB-C device.

Usage tips

Check the ports on both ends before choosing it. A Thunderbolt 4 cable cannot add Thunderbolt or DisplayPort capability to a device that lacks it, and the display modes listed here depend on compatible equipment. Also make sure 2 meters suits the route from your laptop to the dock or display, extra length can make a desk layout easier, but it may be more cable than a compact charging setup needs.

For a practical desk routine, connect a compatible computer to a supported display, then use the same cable for charging and data where the devices allow it. If a display does not reach the listed resolution or refresh rate, check the capabilities of the computer, display, and ports before assuming the cable is the limiting factor.

Questions before you buy

Can it charge a laptop? It supports USB Power Delivery up to 100W. Whether that is sufficient depends on the laptop’s charging requirements.

What video modes are listed? DisplayPort 1.4 support includes 8K at 60Hz or dual 4K at 60Hz, when the connected devices support those modes.

Does it work with Thunderbolt 3? Yes. Thunderbolt 3 support is listed, along with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, and backward compatibility with USB Type-C.

Should you buy it?

Choose this cable when you need the 2-meter reach and want one connection that can support fast data, up to 100W charging, and high-resolution video in a compatible setup. If your priority is only basic charging, or your devices cannot use the added bandwidth and display features, those capabilities may not make a practical difference.
