Other World Computing (OWC®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced the launch of its fully certified 2-meter Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) cable for Macs and PCs. Creative and business professionals now have a long-length solution – engineered with signal amplification, precision shielding, and end-to-end signal integrity – for workflows that demand maximum speed, display performance, and power delivery – along with all the capabilities of Thunderbolt 5.
“OWC’s 2-meter Thunderbolt 5 Cable delivers the full Thunderbolt 5 experience at extended length with no compromises,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing (OWC). “It gives users the flexibility to connect high-performance devices exactly where they need them, while maintaining the performance, reliability, and compatibility Thunderbolt is known for.”
The new 2-meter cable is certified by Thunderbolt and multiple independent testing labs for the full Thunderbolt 5 specification, including:
- Up to 80 Gb/s bi-directional data performance
- Up to 120 Gb/s video stream performance for multi-display, high-bandwidth workflows
- Up to 240W power delivery
- Up to three 8K displays supported
- Fully compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB-C devices – universal for virtually any USB-C host and/or Power/charge connection
The new extended-length 2-meter cable joins OWC’s already popular lineup of 0.3-meter, 0.8-meter, and 1-meter Thunderbolt 5 cables, all designed to deliver consistent reliability and next-gen performance.
“Thunderbolt 5 unlocks important new capabilities for the latest M4 Pro and M4 Max Macs, high-end PCs, and next-generation creative devices,” continued O’Connor. “We designed our 2-meter cable to deliver full Thunderbolt 5 performance while remaining fully backward compatible with existing Thunderbolt and USB-C devices, so professionals can finally rely on a single cable for all of their connection needs. It delivers the bandwidth, power, and display performance they expect, without compromise, regardless of length. Truly, one cable to connect them (USB-C to C) all. Never guess if it’s the right cable when it’s an OWC USB-C Thunderbolt cable.”
The new 2-meter cable will be just one of OWC’s featured Thunderbolt 5 storage and connectivity solutions featured at Pepcom’s Digital Experience on January 5 and ShowStoppers @ CES on January 6, during CES 2026.
Priced at $79.99, the OWC 2-meter cable is available for pre-order now on OWC.com (with an expected ship date of early January).
