UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 Cable, 80 Gbps, 240 W, 8K, Intel Certified, 1 m, Black (45996)

Overview

The UGREEN 45996 (model L703) is a 1 m USB-C to USB-C cable certified by Intel for Thunderbolt 5. One lead carries data at up to 80 Gbps, video for very high-resolution monitors and up to 240 W of charging, and it also works with Thunderbolt 4 and 3, USB4 and older USB-C devices. It suits a laptop that connects to a dock, a fast external SSD or a high-resolution monitor, and a mixed desk where one cable has to serve everything.

Is it right for you?

• Suits Thunderbolt 5 laptops, docks, SSDs and monitors that need the full speed, and high-power laptops charged from a suitable charger.
• Full speed and display capability need Thunderbolt 5 at both ends; with an older device the link runs at that device’s maximum.
• Charging wattage depends on the charger and the laptop, not the cable alone.
• The 1 m length keeps signal margins high; plan the desk layout around it.

Key features

• Up to 80 Gbps in both directions, or up to 120 Gbps in one direction with Bandwidth Boost.
• Up to 240 W (48 V, 5 A) USB PD (Power Delivery) charging with a compatible charger.
• Video for a single 16K, dual 8K or triple 4K at 144 Hz setup when the computer and dock support it.
• Intel Thunderbolt certification, with over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature protection.
• Backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and 3, USB4, USB 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0, and USB 2.0.
• 1 m, USB-C male to USB-C male, black.

What else you need

A device and a dock, charger or monitor with USB-C ports. For the full 80 Gbps and 240 W, both ends must support Thunderbolt 5 and the charger must support 240 W.

Before you buy

• Thunderbolt 5 at one end only runs the link at the older device’s maximum.
• The 1 m length suits a desk layout where the devices sit close together.
