Are Thunderbolt cables compatible with USB-C devices?
Yes, Thunderbolt cables work with USB-C devices, but they offer faster speeds and more features than regular USB-C cables.
Can I use a Thunderbolt cable to charge my laptop?
Yes, Thunderbolt cables can charge laptops and other devices with up to 100W of power, making them perfect for charging while transferring data.
How is a Thunderbolt cable different from a regular USB-C cable?
While both Thunderbolt and USB-C cables share the same physical connector, Thunderbolt cables offer much higher data transfer speeds (up to 40Gbps) and additional features like video output for dual 4K displays and faster power delivery. USB-C cables typically offer lower data transfer speeds and may not support these advanced features.
Can I use a Thunderbolt cable with a non-Thunderbolt device?
Yes, you can use a Thunderbolt cable with a non-Thunderbolt USB-C device, but it will function as a regular USB-C cable, limited to the USB-C device's capabilities. The advanced features of Thunderbolt, like higher data transfer speeds and dual video output, won’t be available.
Are Thunderbolt cables backward compatible with older versions of Thunderbolt?
Yes, Thunderbolt cables are backward compatible. For example, a Thunderbolt 4 cable can be used with Thunderbolt 3 devices, but the performance will be limited to the capabilities of the older device.
