Differences with Apple USB-C charge cable

Apple's USB-C Charge Cable looks externally similar to the Thunderbolt 4 Pro cables. It can also be plugged into Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports (denoted by a Thunderbolt symbol), but its data transfer speed would be limited to that of USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). The USB-C cable also does not support carrying video signals. To achieve maximum bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps (an 80-fold improvement), the Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable is required.

*An active cable refers to a cable that has built-in electronics to actively boost the signal quality and maintain optimal performance over long distances. These cables often have additional features such as support for higher data transfer speeds, longer cable lengths, and higher power delivery capabilities. They are ideal for use cases where you need reliable and fast data transmission, like connecting external storage devices or high-resolution displays.
