Review on UGREEN Extension Extender Compatible Thunderbolt by John Kennedy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT CABLE - Know your limits with TBT3

Too much misinformation and confusion on TBT3 (Thunderbolt 3) device reviews. To be honest, I don't think the general public is aware of the potential of TBT3, otherwise more people would be interested. For my part, this 1.5ft USB-C TBT3 extension cable worked exactly as intended to extend the Tikko Universal USB-C TBT3 hub for my office laptop work station. Thank goodness for the extra 18 inches (never mentioned before). My intended use case was to extend the aforementioned hub, which only came with a side-mounted 1ft Thunderbolt 3 connector, so I needed to have the hub in sight of anywhere on my workstation (and any cables running in the hub with it) or extend the TBT3 cable (and hide the hub so that only the cable is sticking out and ready to be plugged in). This extension worked great for the latter. Charging worked great too - I haven't tested whether fast charging works through this extension cord, but I might check if anyone needs to know beforehand.

Pros
  • 100W Fast Charge: 52% faster than a 60W USB-C cable, 100W output (20V, 5A), suitable for full laptop charging like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, up to 39% in 30 minutes. Speed or fully charge the Samsung Galaxy S21 in 1 hour.
Cons
  • High Price
