Say hello to the 100% compatible and certified reliable solution for interconnecting devices and hundreds of millions of Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, and USB4 equipped Macs, PCs, tablets, and phones!
Whether connecting accessories, power, video, or even networking, the OWC Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Cable is universal for everything making it the only cable you will ever need. Connecting with USB-C on both ends, this cable is safe, certified, and always reliable for Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB 4, USB 3.2, USB 3.1, USB Power, Video, etc. And you get 100% of both the maximum power allowed and the full data capability supported from/between any USB-C port-equipped device and host.
Fully Certified
No matter what kind of device or power level — be it a Mac, PC, tablet, or mobile device — the OWC Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Cable never lets you down for your USB-C to USB-C connectivity needs. Contrast this with USB-type cables, which often carry no certification, have more limited and varying data speeds, and are not all rated and safe for the power level a system can demand. OWC Thunderbolt 4 cables take all the guesswork out for your connectivity needs. Full certification for power and data capabilities provides peace of mind and ensured reliability regardless of what you need connecting.
From our research and first-hand experience, USB-C cables are among the largest causes of technical support headaches. While many of these cables look and feel like quality products, even the highest-quality USB cable doesn’t mean it supports Thunderbolt or even high-speed USB-C 5Gb/s or 10Gb/s needed for modern USB-C docks and drives. This causes frustration, lost time, and lost productivity as devices fail to operate correctly—if at all—and with no apparent reason to the end-user. Using some USB cables for power connections is even dangerous when overpowering can risk excessive heat or worse.
“With the OWC Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C Cable, you never have to worry or wonder if you have the right cable because it’s a perfect cable for all of your C-to-C connectivity needs. If it fits your ports, it 100% does support. No other USB-C cable, other than one that is Thunderbolt 4 certified, can make this claim. As I introduce these new cables to individuals and groups, I can’t tell you how many people have said they will be cutting all their other USB-C cables. Incorrect cable use is a real issue and headache we are excited to have solved.”
Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of OWC

Are all OWC cables sold with OWC Thunderbolt 3 devices the same as the TB4 cable discussed in this article? If not all are some?
Will this TB4 cable make any speed difference with OWC external drives, especially the newer ones?
Any cable that comes with an OWC device is already maximized for that device – so you wouldn’t necessarily get any extra “oomph” by updating the cable. Having said that, TB3 & TB4 cables are different in the sense that they have different chipsets. But at shorter lengths, they are functionally the same.
Hope this helps!
In what functional ways does this cable outperform the standard Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable?

Apple has (for the most part) always maximized Thunderbolt’s capabilities, so there is no functional difference between the two.
Good to know. There has been some discussion on TidBITS Talk that differences may appear at lengths over 0.8m due to cables of longer lengths needing to be active rather than passive.

That is correct. The longer-length cables are where Thunderbolt 4 is going to really shine!
