OWC Thunderbolt 5 USB-C Cable Reviews

Good Quality!

By Gustavo
Rated 5 out of 5

This cable works great. For some reason, I could not complete the initial setup of my eGPU box with this cable; the graphics card was not recognized in Device Manager. I had to use the short cable that came with the eGPU, and only then did it work. But once the initial setup/recognition completed, from that point on I can fully work just using this longer cable. The quality is great.

Fast!

Do these cables bend/flex easily??
Asked by: Brian
The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cable (31"), B&H #OWCBLTB5C08M, can bend reasonably easily; however, by design, it is moderately stiff to maintain the integrity of the signal at up to 80 Gbps, so it has some resistance when compared to other cables.
