UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 240W USB-C Cable 1M 120Gbps – 16K, 8K, 4K 144Hz

The UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 240W USB-C Cable 1M is a high-performance USB-C cable designed for users who need extremely fast data transfer, high-resolution display connectivity and powerful USB-C charging from a single cable.

Built around Thunderbolt 5 technology, the cable supports up to 80Gbps bidirectional data transfer and up to 120Gbps one-way bandwidth in video-priority mode. It also supports USB Power Delivery 3.1 with up to 240W charging at 48V/5A when paired with compatible devices and chargers.

For compatible DisplayPort 2.1 devices, UGREEN lists support for configurations including 16K@30Hz, dual 8K@60Hz and triple 4K@144Hz displays. The cable is also backward-compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 and USB4/USB-C protocols, subject to the capabilities of the connected devices.

Common Problems with Standard USB-C Cables

Not every USB-C cable provides the same level of performance.

Standard charging or USB-C cables may have limitations such as:

• Lower charging power
• Slower data transfer
• Limited display resolution
• Limited multi-monitor support
• No Thunderbolt compatibility
• No support for high-refresh-rate displays
• Different cables needed for charging, data and video
• Reduced performance with professional workflows

For demanding laptops, docks, external SSDs and high-resolution displays, a high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 5 cable can simplify connectivity.

Smart Solution for High-Speed USB-C Connectivity

The UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 USB-C Cable combines high-speed data, display connectivity and high-power charging in a single 1-meter USB-C cable.

You can use it with compatible laptops, Thunderbolt docks, external SSDs, monitors and other USB-C devices while taking advantage of the maximum capabilities supported by the connected hardware.

The cable uses an E-Marker chip to identify supported power requirements and help manage charging according to the connected device and charger.

Key Features

1. Thunderbolt 5 Technology

The cable is designed around Thunderbolt 5, providing a significant bandwidth increase over earlier Thunderbolt generations.

It supports up to 80Gbps bidirectional data transfer, making it suitable for demanding workloads such as large file transfers, external SSD storage, video editing and professional data workflows.

2. Up to 120Gbps One-Way Video Bandwidth

Thunderbolt 5 can provide up to 120Gbps one-way bandwidth in Bandwidth Boost/video-priority mode.

This additional bandwidth is designed for demanding multi-display configurations and high-resolution video workflows.

Important: 120Gbps is not the standard bidirectional data-transfer rate. Normal Thunderbolt 5 bidirectional data performance is up to 80Gbps.

3. 240W USB Power Delivery

The cable supports USB PD 3.1 up to 240W, using up to 48V/5A with compatible chargers and devices.

This makes it suitable for high-power USB-C laptops and other compatible devices that support USB PD 3.1.

The actual charging power is negotiated between the charger and connected device, so a 240W-rated cable does not force every device to charge at 240W.

4. Up to 16K Display Support

For compatible DisplayPort 2.1 systems, UGREEN lists support for:

• 1 × 16K@30Hz display
• 2 × 8K@60Hz displays
• 3 × 4K@144Hz displays

The actual resolution and number of displays depend on the host device, GPU, dock, monitor and supported display protocols.

5. 4K@144Hz Support

The cable can support high-refresh-rate configurations such as 4K@144Hz when the connected devices and display chain support the required specifications.

This makes it useful for gaming monitors and professional displays where both high resolution and high refresh rate are important.

6. Backward Compatibility

The Thunderbolt 5 cable is designed to work with a wide range of previous-generation USB-C and Thunderbolt standards.

UGREEN lists compatibility with:

• Thunderbolt 5
• Thunderbolt 4
• Thunderbolt 3
• USB4
• USB 3.x
• USB 2.0

Actual performance will always fall back to the maximum capability supported by the connected devices and protocol.

7. Intel Thunderbolt Certification

UGREEN’s current Thunderbolt 5 product information identifies the cable as Intel-certified Thunderbolt 5.

This provides additional assurance that the cable is designed for the Thunderbolt 5 specification rather than simply using USB-C connectors with a high advertised speed.

8. E-Marker Chip

The cable includes an E-Marker chip that communicates cable capabilities to compatible devices.

This helps the connected system identify supported power and performance characteristics and manage charging appropriately.

9. 1-Meter Length

The 1-meter length provides a practical balance between desktop connectivity and cable management.

It is suitable for connecting:

• Laptop to dock
• Laptop to monitor
• Laptop to external SSD
• Dock to monitor
• USB-C charger to compatible device
• Thunderbolt accessories

10. High-Performance Professional Workflows

The combination of Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth, high-power charging and advanced display support makes the cable suitable for demanding workflows such as:

• 4K/8K video editing
• Large file transfers
• External SSD workflows
• Professional photography
• 3D design
• Multi-monitor workstations
• High-refresh-rate gaming
• Thunderbolt docking stations

The UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 USB-C Cable brings high-speed data, high-resolution display connectivity and up to 240W USB PD into one cable.

Its combination of 80Gbps bidirectional data, up to 120Gbps video bandwidth, 240W charging and advanced multi-display support makes it suitable for modern high-performance computing environments.

UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 Cable vs Standard USB-C Cable

*Display configurations depend on the host device, GPU, dock, monitor and supported DisplayPort/Thunderbolt features.

How to Use

Step 1: Check Device Compatibility

Confirm that your laptop, dock, monitor, SSD or other USB-C device supports the required Thunderbolt, USB4 or USB-C protocol.

For maximum Thunderbolt 5 performance, compatible Thunderbolt 5 hardware is required.

Step 2: Connect the Cable

Insert one USB-C connector into the source device and the other into the destination device.

The reversible USB-C connector makes connection simple.

Step 3: Connect a Compatible Charger

For high-power charging, connect a compatible USB PD 3.1 charger to the appropriate device or dock.

The cable supports up to 240W, but the charger and device must also support the required charging level.

Step 4: Connect Your Display or Dock

Use the cable to connect a compatible Thunderbolt dock, USB-C monitor or other high-bandwidth accessory.

Step 5: Transfer Data or Use Your Display

Once connected, the system should automatically negotiate the highest supported protocol and performance level.

Step 6: Confirm Your System’s Actual Speed

If you need maximum bandwidth, check the operating system, Thunderbolt utility or device specifications to confirm that the connection is operating at the expected Thunderbolt 5 level.

Use Cases

High-Speed External SSD

Use the cable with a compatible Thunderbolt 5 SSD enclosure for fast transfer of large video, photography and project files.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Keep the cable dry.
• Avoid exposing the USB-C connectors to water or excessive moisture.
• Disconnect the cable by holding the connector rather than pulling the cable itself.
• Avoid sharply bending the cable near the connectors.
• Keep the connectors free from dust and debris.
• Do not place heavy objects on the cable.
• Store the cable loosely rather than tightly winding it.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the cable or connectors.

Important Usage Tips

• A 240W-rated cable does not guarantee 240W charging; the charger and device must also support the required PD level.
• 120Gbps is one-way video bandwidth, not normal bidirectional data transfer.
• Normal Thunderbolt 5 bidirectional data transfer is up to 80Gbps.
• Maximum display resolution depends on the connected GPU, dock, monitor and protocol.
• For 16K/8K/4K high-refresh configurations, every component in the display chain must support the required standard.
• Thunderbolt 3/4 devices will operate according to their own maximum supported specifications.
• USB-C connector compatibility does not mean every USB-C device supports Thunderbolt.
• Use a compatible PD 3.1 charger for high-power charging.
• The cable cannot upgrade a device that does not support Thunderbolt 5 or the required display protocol.

Important: The advertised 120Gbps figure refers to Thunderbolt 5’s Bandwidth Boost/video-priority mode. For ordinary bidirectional data transfer, the maximum is 80Gbps.

Product Specifications

*Maximum display configurations depend on the connected devices and supported DisplayPort/Thunderbolt implementation.
