FAQs for Anker Thunderbolt Cables

What does a thunderbolt cable look like?

A Thunderbolt cable resembles a standard USB-C cable, featuring a slim, reversible connector at both ends. It's typically thicker and more robust than regular USB cables due to its enhanced capabilities. The cable is often adorned with a lightning bolt symbol to distinguish it from other similar-looking cables.


Can I plug a USB-C into a Thunderbolt port?

Yes, you can plug a USB-C cable into a Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports are physically identical to USB-C ports and are designed to be backward compatible. This means you can use USB-C devices with Thunderbolt ports, though you won't get Thunderbolt speeds or capabilities.


How to tell if USB-C is Thunderbolt?

To easily identify if a USB-C port supports Thunderbolt, look for the Thunderbolt icon (a lightning bolt) next to the port. Alternatively, check the device’s specifications or user manual for Thunderbolt support details.


Which type of signal is not supported by a Thunderbolt cable?

A Thunderbolt cable does not natively support Ethernet signals. However, you can achieve Ethernet connectivity by using a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter or a Thunderbolt docking station equipped with Ethernet ports, for example, the Anker 577 Thunderbolt Docking Station.
