Review on High-Speed Intel Certified CalDigit Thunderbolt Cable - Optimum Data Transfer and Exceptional Performance by Tony Francis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Functionally identical to LG 5k OEM cable

I bought this cable to use between my LG 5k and my 2016 15" Macbook Pro - it works great. System report that it charges the system at 85W, as does the OEM cable that came with the display (compared to other cables I've tried, we limited it to 65W) Supports devices connected to a USB Hub are connected, as well as OEM LG's OEM cable, the cable is slightly thicker and stiffer, the connectors are a few mm longer than the OEM, and the transition from cable to connector appears to be stiffer with CalDigit (see Caldigit). Connector I plugged into my laptop for the past week has developed a crack - I will be returning/replacing it - just a cosmetic issue.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
