Break the Distance Barrier with Flawless Optical Thunderbolt Performance
Reclaim your workspace and unlock unprecedented layout flexibility with the Iodyne 50m Certified Optical Thunderbolt Cable. For too long, creative professionals have been tethered by the short leash of traditional copper cables, forced to keep loud, hot, and bulky storage arrays right next to their workstations. This revolutionary 50-meter (164-foot) optical cable shatters that limitation, empowering you to design the quiet, focused, and efficient studio environment you've always wanted.
Leveraging the power of light, this cable transmits the full 40Gb/s bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 over incredible distances with zero signal degradation. Unlike copper, the optical fibers are completely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring a rock-solid, error-free connection even in the most demanding production environments. Move your noisy RAID towers, servers, and other peripherals to a dedicated machine room or closet, eliminating distracting fan noise and heat from your creative suite. This is essential for pristine audio recording, color-critical video grading, and deep-focus work.
Engineered for professional reliability, this cable is Intel Certified to guarantee seamless compatibility and performance with all your Thunderbolt devices. It's surprisingly thin, lightweight, and flexible, making it easy to route through walls, conduits, or across large studio floors. Whether you're a DIT on a sprawling film set, a sound engineer in a multi-room studio, or a researcher connecting to remote data-intensive instruments, the Iodyne 50m Optical Thunderbolt Cable is the ultimate tool for connecting your critical hardware without compromise. Experience the freedom of distance and the full power of Thunderbolt.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
