Full 40Gb/s Thunderbolt at a desk-friendly 1.8 m, with DisplayPort video and 100W charging.

The Apple Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) Pro Cable MW5J3ZM/A is a 1.8-metre active cable that transfers data at up to 40Gb/s over Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB4, carries DisplayPort (HBR3) video and delivers up to 100W of charging power, for connecting a Mac to a Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, Thunderbolt dock or fast external SSD. Being active, it keeps full Thunderbolt speed at a length where passive cables drop back.
The black braided jacket coils without tangling and it daisy-chains up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices. It also works as a USB 3.2 cable at up to 10Gb/s, and can connect an iPhone 15 Pro or later to a Mac.
Compatibility Note: 40Gb/s requires Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 ports at both ends; with USB 3.2 equipment it runs at up to 10Gb/s. 100W is the maximum charging level, so it does not support the 140W+ fast charging of some MacBook Pro models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MW5J3ZM/A the right cable for a Studio Display or Pro Display XDR?
Yes. It carries Thunderbolt at 40Gb/s with DisplayPort video, so the display, its camera and USB ports work over one cable, and 1.8 m reaches from a Mac on the desk to the display.
What is the difference between this and the Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable?
The Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable (MDW94ZM/A) reaches 120Gb/s and 240W but is 1 m. This Thunderbolt 4 cable is longer at 1.8 m and gives the full 40Gb/s of Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 equipment.
Can I use it to charge my iPhone or iPad?
Yes. It works as a USB-C charging and data cable for iPhone 15 and later and USB-C iPads, and syncs iPhone 15 Pro or later with a Mac at high speed.
Singular Expert Insight
We recommend the MW5J3ZM/A for Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 setups that need more than a metre: it keeps full 40Gb/s, video and 100W charging at 1.8 m, which cheaper passive cables cannot. If your Mac and devices are Thunderbolt 5 and sit close together, the MDW94ZM/A offers 120Gb/s and 240W.
✓ Buy it if you connect a Mac to a Thunderbolt display, dock or SSD and need full 40Gb/s at 1.8 m.
✕ Skip it if you need 140W+ fast charging or Thunderbolt 5 speeds.
→ Also consider Apple Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable MDW94ZM/A (1 m, 120Gb/s, 240W) or QNAP CAB-TBT315M-40G (1.5 m Thunderbolt 3).
