Let ’s face it : anything over $ 100 is a mountain of cash for a braid cable . This is beyond line , a variety of affront to the god of Monoprice that have teach us that most transmission line is hardly worth 5 cent an inch . So what does Apple think it ’s doing with this newThunderbolt 3 Pro Cablethat clocks in at a cool $ 130 ?
First off , it ’s braided . That adds like fifty bucks right there . And second off , it ’s really long — about six - and - a - one-half feet — and is believably the only cable you use to join your MacBook to a Pro Display XDR monitor or other data - intensive computer peripheral . consort to Apple , it is compatible with DisplayPort and USB 3.1 , and the passthrough speed of 40Gb / s vs. the duration is quite telling .
Basically you buy this if you absolutely , positively have to have some solid throughput between your fancy new Mac Pro and your fancy novel monitor . If you’re able to survive with a shorter length , Apple ’s also got a$39 super - curt cablewith the same features that you’re able to pop up between peripherals .

eventually , because it ’s so long , you’re able to well and ostentatiously lather it around the power like Indiana Jones , showing everyone that you own a long and deadly strand of pure information .
