This article covers Cable Matters 40Gbps ライトアングル Thunderbolt 4ケーブル 2フィート 8Kビデオ 240W充電.

Overview

If your desk setup is tight against a wall or you have a dock sitting flush against the side of a notebook, plugging a straight USB-C cable often puts stress on the port or requires an awkward bend. Cable Matters tackles this with their Thunderbolt 4 Right Angle Cable (0.8m / 2ft), model number B0BS4C53WF. The 90-degree L-shaped connector keeps the cable flat against the device, saving space and reducing strain on the USB-C port. Inside, this cable carries full Thunderbolt 4 certification with 40Gbps data throughput, USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range (EPR) for up to 240W charging, and enough bandwidth to drive a single 8K display or two 4K displays. Backward compatibility extends through Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 5, USB 4, and all legacy USB-C standards, making it a future-ready investment for any USB-C ecosystem.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The cable uses USB Type-C connectors on both ends, so it works with any USB-C host and device. Supported protocols: Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 5, USB 4, USB 3.2 Gen2×2, USB 3.2 Gen2, USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 2.0 DisplayPort Alt Mode is fully supported for video output over a single cable Compatible with iPad Pro, MacBook Pro/Air, Windows laptops, and Thunderbolt 4 docking stations Works as a standard USB-C cable on non-Thunderbolt devices, though speed drops to the host's max USB rating One layout caveat: the right-angle head, while great for tight spaces, may block adjacent ports depending on orientation. Check your device's port arrangement before committing.

Product Info

Launched in early 2023, Cable Matters' right-angle Thunderbolt 4 cable is available on Japan for around ¥5,641. Cable Matters is a US-based accessories brand well known for reliable docks, hubs, and cabling. In terms of market positioning, this cable sits at the high end of the Thunderbolt 4 cable segment. The 240W EPR support and 40Gbps full-certification set it apart from cheaper USB 3.2 cables that only offer 10Gbps or 20Gbps. The package includes just the cable itself; no additional accessories are bundled. Warranty is manufacturer limited, typically one to two years.

Best Use Cases

Laptop users with cramped desks: The right-angle connector keeps the cable flush against the device, eliminating unsightly loops and pressure on the port. Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 early adopters: Get the full 40Gbps data speed and 240W charging in one cable, ideal for use with a Thunderbolt 4 dock at a desk. * Creative professionals running high-res monitors: 8K single-display or dual-4K output ensures no bandwidth bottleneck when connecting an external GPU enclosure or a multi-monitor hub. On the other hand, this cable is overkill for legacy USB 2.0/3.0 devices. Also, the 0.8m length is best for short desk runs; if you need to snake a cable behind a large monitor tower, look at the 1.5m or 2m versions. ## Alternatives
A direct competitor in the same $30–$40 bracket is the Anker PowerLine III Flow USB-C to USB-C cable (0.9m). Anker's cable supports 240W charging but lacks Thunderbolt 4 certification and maxes out at 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen2). For users who need 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 speed, Cable Matters is the clear winner. Apple's own Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable (1.8m) costs over $70 and is nearly twice as long. While undeniably premium, its price is significantly higher, and the longer length may be unnecessary for desktop setups. Cable Matters gives you the same certified performance at roughly half the price in a more desk-friendly length.

Things to Consider

Because this is a full Thunderbolt 4 cable, it will deliver 40Gbps only when both the host and device support Thunderbolt 4 or USB 4. On a standard USB-C port, it falls back to USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps). The 240W EPR charging feature is also only activated when both source and sink support the EPR standard — otherwise, it delivers the standard 60W to 100W. The 0.8m length is fine for a laptop and a nearby hub, but it may be too short to reach a monitor placed further away. Plan your cable routing before buying. At ¥5,641, it's a fair price for a certified Thunderbolt 4 cable, but if your devices only need USB 2.0 speeds, a ¥500 cable will do the job. Evaluate your actual bandwidth and power needs first.
