Alongside the iMac Pro, Apple today updated its online store to add an Apple-branded 0.8m Thunderbolt 3 cable, which is the first Thunderbolt 3 cable Apple has offered that isn't manufactured by a third-party company.
The cable is priced at $39, which is more expensive than a similar Belkin Thunderbolt 3 cable also available from the Apple website for $29.95.

Apple's Thunderbolt 3 cable offers TB3 data transfer speeds up to 40Gb/s and USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gb/s, along with DisplayPort video output (HBR3) and charging up to 100W.
Aside from a Thunderbolt logo located at either end of the cable, there is no branding. It is, however, designed in the same style as Apple's traditional USB-C and Lightning cables.
The Thunderbolt 3 cable is compatible with all USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Macs, including the latest iMac Pro, iMac, and MacBook Pro models.

(View all)Does it come in space grey?
Yes, for an extra $4,970. It comes with a free iMac Pro.Wonder why it took them so long, given the first TB3 macs came out in 2016
I believe Apple's cable is the longest 40Gbps, 10Gbps, 100w available (the trinity universal cable). Caldigit's 1m cable can't do USB3 10Gbps and it's $50. Apple's cable is slightly shorter, but it's cheaper and supports 10Gbps.Caldigit makes the best TB3 cable right now, wonder how this compares to it
