Connect nearby Thunderbolt 5 devices with an 80 Gbps USB-C to USB-C link sized for short equipment-to-equipment runs. This 0.5 m cable places a dock, storage device, display connection, or other high-bandwidth peripheral close to its host without leaving excess cable coiled behind a workstation or inside a compact rack enclosure. USB-C connectors at both ends provide the physical connection used by Thunderbolt 5 ports. C2G28820 is suited to installations where cable length matters as much as interface speed. Its 1.6 ft reach is appropriate when a laptop, desktop, dock, or peripheral sits immediately adjacent to the connected device. The short length can help keep desktop cable paths controlled while retaining the 80 Gbps data-transfer capability stated for the cable. It is a direct USB-C to USB-C cable rather than an adapter or a cable with a mixed connector arrangement. Use this cable where the connected systems require a Thunderbolt 5 interconnect and are positioned within 0.5 m of one another. Confirm the ports and the connected equipment support the operating mode required for the deployment, since connected-device capabilities determine the functions available across the link. The defining characteristics for selection are its Thunderbolt 5 cable type, USB-C connectors on both ends, 80 Gbps data rate, and compact 0.5 m length.
