Koss 2 m Thunderbolt 3 USB C cable

SKU CH-5E8W-C9AWV

A 2 m Thunderbolt 3 cable delivering 20 Gbit/s data transfer and charging for notebooks, drives, docks and monitors

  • Thunderbolt 3 delivers 20 Gbit/s data transfer
  • 56 ft length reaches distant peripherals easily
  • USB 3.1 Type-C connectors fit modern notebooks and docks
  • RoHS, REACH and WEEE certified for lower environmental impact
  • Lightweight 0.19 lb cable adds minimal bulk to a bag

What this cable does

This two-metre cable carries Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 signals between two USB-C ports. It supports data rates up to 20 Gbit/s and provides charging power for notebooks, MacBooks, Chromebooks, portable drives, docks, monitors, drive enclosures, printers and phones. The white jacket is RoHS, REACH and WEEE certified.

Thermals noise and power

The cable is passive and contains no active electronics, so it generates no heat and makes no noise during normal use. Power delivery travels through the copper conductors without any conversion loss that would raise temperature. At approximately 0.19 lb it adds negligible weight to a desk setup.

Behaviour under sustained load

During continuous 20 Gbit/s transfers the conductors remain within specification because there are no active components to throttle. Signal integrity is maintained over the full 6.56 ft length without the retimers that shorter active cables sometimes require. The two-year limited warranty covers defects that might appear after extended heavy use.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2 m Thunderbolt 3 cable and what step is often missed?

Connect the Type C Male USB 3.1 Thunderbolt 3 connectors to both devices; the step often missed is ensuring both ports support Thunderbolt 3 for full 20 Gbit/s data transfer and charging.

What maintenance or replacement will the 2 m Thunderbolt 3 cable need later?

The cable has no user-serviceable parts; inspect the white jacket and connectors periodically for wear, and replace the cable if the 0.19 lb assembly shows damage or intermittent connection.

What limit appears first on the 2 m Thunderbolt 3 cable under sustained use?

The 20 Gbit/s data rate and charging capability are limited by the host and device Thunderbolt 3 controllers, not by the 6.56 ft cable length itself.
