- edude03 9y agoOnly 0.5M TB3 cables are full spec. Longer ones only support USB 2.0 apparently
- dijit 9y agoI thought 0.5M TB3 was for 40G and any longer (up to 2M) is only 20G...
- dijit 9y agoI got downvoted, but I was right: > At launch, there'll be one passive Thunderbolt 3 cable that supports Thunderbolt, USB 3.1, and DisplayPort 1.2, but with a max bandwidth of only 20Gbps. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/06/thunderbolt-3-embraces-usb-type-c-connector-doubles-bandwidth-to-40gbps/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/06/thunderbolt-3-embrac...
- lvh 9y agoDo you have a souce for that? I have a 1m TB3 cable that appears to do USB3.1 just fine, and Newegg sells a 2m one that claims the same.

I could be out of date but I can't find a cable that's 2m long, 40gb, supports 87w+ and USB 3
