Corning Thunderbolt 3 Optical Cable – 10m

10m Active Optical Thunderbolt 3 Cable — 40Gb/s USB-C For Self-Powered Devices

The Corning Thunderbolt 3 Optical Cable extends 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 connectivity over a 10m active optical cable, making it ideal for longer workstation, storage and machine-room installations.

It uses reversible USB-C connectors and an all-dielectric optical design for electrically isolated connectivity. The connected peripheral must be self-powered because the cable does not provide bus power.

  • 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 active optical cable.
  • 10m cable length.
  • Reversible USB-C / Type-C connectors.
  • For self-powered Thunderbolt 3 peripherals.

Corning Thunderbolt 3 Optical Cable – 10m – Product Overview

40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 Over Optical Fibre

Corning's Thunderbolt 3 Optical Cable carries high-speed data and display traffic over a 10m optical link, providing substantially greater installation flexibility than conventional short copper Thunderbolt cables.


Designed For Long-Distance Installations

The cable is well suited to professional media, storage and machine-room workflows where noisy or heat-generating equipment needs to be positioned away from the workstation while retaining a direct Thunderbolt 3 connection.


Reversible USB-C Connectivity

Both ends use reversible Type-C connectors. Corning specifies 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 operation, Thunderbolt device daisy chaining and support for one 5K display or two 4K displays with compatible systems.


Optical Isolation And Robust Construction

The all-dielectric optical design provides galvanic isolation between connected equipment. Corning also specifies improved abrasion resistance and thermal shutdown protection for the active electronics inside the connector assemblies.


Compatibility And Power

No driver software is required. The cable is intended for Thunderbolt 3 ports and self-powered peripherals; it does not provide bus power and does not support native USB or DisplayPort operation. Corning recommends use with macOS.
