World’s thinnest Thunderbolt?

reducinga4.2mmdiameter to3.2mmwithout
sacrificing performance. The thin Thunderbolt
cable will be available in lengths of 0.3m,
0.5m, 1m and 2m, and in black or white. The

products (12metal and three optical cables).
The thin Thunderbolt cables have an
approximately 25 percent smaller outer
diameter. Transmission data rates will not
to be compromised by the construction,
and high-speed 10Gbps standards are
maintained.
