Reviews

Thunderbolt 4 builds on the innovation of Thunderbolt 3 for a truly universal cable connectivity experience. Thunderbolt 4 always delivers 40 Gbps speeds and data, video and power over a single connection. It is the most comprehensive Thunderbolt specification yet with compliance across the broadest set of industry-standard specifications – including USB4, DisplayPort and PCI Express (PCIe) – and is fully compatible with prior generations of Thunderbolt and USB products.

Faster Data Transfer

Transfer data at up to 40Gb/s. This cable can transfer 10GB of data in 5 seconds. Faster than ever.

With longer data transmission distance, this cable provide top transfer speeds at up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) in length — ideal for building a gaming laptop setup.

Data transfer up to 40Gb/s

 

Up to 100W Power Delivery

Certified safe delivery of up to 100 watts of power/charging from docks, adapters, and displays. Whether connected to a laptop or any other USB-C power supply device, this premium, multi-function cable is built to reliably deliver the power your digital life demands.

 

Fast charging

 

However, not all device manufacturers support USB-PD. This cable can also provide 15W to connected bus-powered devices, such as external hard drives, cameras and portable monitors. This is also enough to charge a tablet or smartphone.

 

Support for Two 4K Displays or One 8K Display

This Cable is 2 meters long, and it can connect to the latest and future Thunderbolt and USB-C displays for incredible 4K, 5K, 6K, and even up to 8K HDR resolution

Supports Thunderbolt/USB-C displays. Dual 4K / one 8K @60Hz (DisplayPort 1.4)

2m/6.6ft

Thunderbolt 4 cables can be up to 2 meters long and still handle 40Gbps bandwidth and DisplayPort capability. Previously, passive Thunderbolt 3 cables had to be less than 1 meter to handle full bandwidth and support DisplayPort.

 

PCIe 32Gb/s

And where Thunderbolt 3 systems have to support only a 16Gbps data rate via PCIe, Thunderbolt 4 will double that requirement to 32Gbps. That added bandwidth will certainly be put to good use by anyone who regularly transfers gigantic files of high-resolution video and other large data sets from storage drives to their laptop for editing or gaming.

 

This also means that the cable can be used to connect to many docks, eGPUs, PCIe expansion, external SSDs, RAID storage, etc.


 

Thunderbolt 4 ports provide external access to the high-speed PCIe bus, allowing components that use PCIe to be connected without having to install them internally.

External SSD

Run games from an external NVMe SSD, such as the Samsung Portable SSD X5. Because NVMe storage uses PCIe instead of the older SATA connectors used by SATA SSDs and traditional HDDs, read/write speeds are fast enough for gaming from an external storage device. This allows games to be transferred to an external drive, so they can be played on any system that supports Thunderbolt / USB 4.

eGPU

Connect an external GPU to boost the graphical performance of a laptop or lightweight PC, allowing you to play more games at higher settings.

 

Support for docks with up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports

Compatibility

This cable is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, USB-C, USB 3.x/2.0. It is a universal cable.

100% USB-C Compatible

USB 2.0? USB 3.2 5Gbps? USB 3.2 10Gbps? USB 3/DP? A single Thunderbolt 4 cable does the job of all of them.


 

Design Journey

Before starting the design journey, one thing we know is that Thunderbolt 4 is powerful and wide compatibility. Most Thunderbolt 4 cables on the market look weak, and it seems that they can only be used carefully on your desk. It doesn’t make sense.

So, If we want it to be a universal cable for everything and everyone, we need to make some changes.

We evaluated and tested different designs, combined with our previous experience, realized that we should use special designs and add the finest materials to strengthen the cable to get a better user experience.

About Us

Haloband began as a Kickstarter project in 2013. Like many startups, we relied on help from friends, family and strangers to bring Haloband from concept to reality.

Now we are focusing on the cables. We will use good design and materials to create a durable and high-performance cables.

Our slogan: Cables made to last!

Our product vision: simple, durable, worry-free. We seek the strongest and best materials to develop products with ergonomic designs.

Our team is based in San Francisco, Shenzhen and Osaka. Craftsmanship is what we pursue. We have excellent product development engineers, and we have a mature production and manufacturing supply chain to ensure that our products are of high quality from design to output. Our first generation Super Cable have received a great response since they were put into the market. Now we are developing a new generation products, which we believe will bring surprises to our users.

 

Taxes and Customs

All taxes and duties are included in the rewards, EU backers do not need to worry about customs clearance issues. Some countries may require you to deal with it yourself, such as Brazil.

 

FAQ

1, What is the difference between Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, and USB4?

Thunderbolt 4 now ensures that you can wake a computer with the shake of a mouse or the tap of a keyboard on Thunderbolt 4 docks. This wasn’t always the case with Thunderbolt 3.

Thunderbolt 4 is also a more data-safe technology, as it requires Intel VT-d-based direct memory access (DMA) protection, also known as DMA remapping. 

We think the biggest difference between them is Thunderbolt 4 cables can be up to 2 meters long and still handle 40Gbps bandwidth and DisplayPort capability, which makes it practical.

 

2, Can I Use a Thunderbolt 4 Cable to Connect to a Thunderbolt or USB-C Device?

Yes, this cable is compatible with any USB-C port for data transfer, charging, or video.

 

3, Are Thunderbolt 4 Cables Compatible With Thunderbolt 3 Computers and Devices?

Yes.
