Apple's new Thunderbolt 3 Pro cable with
braided exterior and 40Gb/s transfer speeds is now available at its Philippine
website. Released in mid-2020 internationally, Apple's new Thunderbolt 3 Pro
cable features data transfer speeds at up to 40Gb/s and USB 3.1 Gen 2 data
transfer at up to 10Gbs using the USB-C form factor. It supports Display port
video output (HBR3) and up to 100W of power delivery. The cable is also
powerful enough to daisy-chain (connect and use simultaneously) up to six
Thunderbolt 3 devices.
This is the perfect one cable that does it
all. It allows for both data and power to run through it which means it can work
for file transfer, connect and power an external device or monitor. It features
a heavy-duty braided design that Apple claims are designed to coil but not
tangle.

- iPad Pro 12.9-inch(3rd/4th Generation)
