Silkland USB 4 for Thunderbolt 4, 40Gbps 240W 8K, USB-IF Certified, 3.3FT | Single 8K/6K Dual 4K, Braided Thunderbolt Cable Compatible for MacBook, SSD, Mac mini, iPhone 17, Monitor

So I try and make sure everything I buy for peripherals and anything routing in and out from MacBook Pro 16” M3 PRO is SOLID and quality. From live podcasts, music engineering sessions, recording content, LARGE transfer files of 4k footage from external SSD, it all needs to work flawlessly for customers, myself and live events. I have been searching for a 6ft thunderbolt cable that will match my official Apple Thunderbolt 4 cable in terms of speed, durability, and reliability. This is it. I wish Silkland would ship in boxes instead of the brown zip type packages so if you have an issue it could be either damage during shipping or a faulty cable and ask for a replacement if that’s the case cause THE SILKLAND THUNDERBOLT cable works great!! Actually a tad bit better than my Apple Thunderbolt cable in terms of speed. Durability we will see and I’ll update this review if anything annoying pops up. So far ABSOLUTELY GREAT! It’s more of a thicker durable feeling than the Apple cable but the Apple Thunderbolt is sliiiiightly thicker but also sliiiightly less mb/s like by 50mbs. I ran tests using Blackmagic Speed Tester and attached pics that are labeled. I’m really really happy with this purchase and the best value I’ve found so far. Sidenote: for those interested in my built ssd it’s a KONYEAD USB4 nvme enclosure(has ASM2464PD chip built in) and using SAMSUNG 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe m.2 (I recommend using minimum 2TB but you can get away with 1TB. 2TB normally perform better and only cost about $50 more)

This is just a cable, but for those interested, yes, it does 40 Gbit transfers. I tested the cable with my USB4 enclosure. While the cable is almost 1 meter long, it did not influence the speed at all. It is well built, a bit stiff. I haven't tested the 240W charging capability as I do not have devices that pull that much current. This was a lightning deal, so I had to get it. Would recommend.

First of all, I ordered this at like 8pm and it was on my doorstep before 7am the next morning. So, that was amazing. The cable itself is braided and strong (and a little heavy). The length is good and it works perfectly with my 2016 Macbook Pro to connect my power and devices. For some reason the right side ports of my Macbook stopped working yesterday, so I needed a longer cable to reach the left side ports. This fit the bill and works great! The cable is heavy enough that I worried a little bit about it pulling on my port in a weird way, but I just looped it around something and it is working fine. May not be an issue, but it is a substantial cable.

Well they do the cabley stuff like they're supposed to. I particularly appreciate the way they print the cable specs on the cable itself. It's a bit hard to see on the darkest black one though. As far as I can tell they seem to be really well made, so I do expect to get a good bit of use out of them.

I used this to connect a Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor - S3225QC to a new Mac Studio, and it works great.

Replaced the heavy awkward brick for my laptop with this cord - love it

Sturdy and great quality. Still have it over the year and shows no wear and tear

i bought this as an extension into a usb-c switch from a Mac mini m4 pro. for some reason, the mac mini didnt like it only when going thru the switch. my macbook was fine. My desk has to accomodate both my HP work laptop, and a personal computer. i have a thunderbolt 3 dock that has two Displayport outs to dual 2k monitors, and eacch computer works thru my dock, but i had to switch cords all the time, which was going to kill the thunderbolt port on the dock eventually from all the wear and tear. so i got a Cabble Matters usb-c thunderbolt 4 switch to change which computer is using the dock. this worked for my macbook, but after recently upgrading to a mac mini, the switch didnt work. Turns out it was this cord. when i seapped out this cord with a Cable Matters thunderbolt4, my setup worked again. i can press a button and everything connected to my dock switches over to the other computer. lifesaver! i'm not technical enough to say this failure is a huge red flag, the cord worked in other circumstances and seemed otherwise to be a decent cord. sometimes, different brands just dont play well in specific scenarios... but also i cant rule out that this cord isnt doing what it claims to be able to do. ymmv i am returning it. Seller contacted me with a solution. pleasantly surprised to deal with someone who stamds by theor product. it didn't work in a unique case but like i said it could have been a real difficult situation that was trying to solve (try to find a kvm with no issues, i dare you)

Ottimo cavo, di buona qualità e (speriamo) durevole. Connessione con dischi SSD a velocità pari al cavo originale, ma con una flessibilità migliore. I connettori si agganciano perfettamente alle porte USB-C.

Certains câbles USB C ne permettent pas de recharger une tablette et de simultanément transférer des données et/ou de la vidéo. Celui là y arrive très bien, en plus d'inspirer une perception de solidité et de sérieux.

Stevige kabel, beetje stug maar goed te buigen en niet verder dan de buigradius. Geeft alle data door.

Very impressed with this cable. The build quality feels premium and durable, and it works perfectly with no issues. I connected my M4 Pro MacBook to a gaming monitor using this cable and was able to get a smooth 200Hz output without any problems. Fast, reliable, and exactly as described. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for a high-quality Thunderbolt cable.
