thunderbolt cable for LT-TB/aurora16

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a lenovo W540 with thunderbolt port (not just displayport) and an LT-TB card ready to go into my aurora16, once I have a cable to connect them... I just want to make sure I'm not dooming my attempt at getting this to work by picking a wrong cable. ANd it seems there's a few options available under the banner of thunderbolt to thunderbolt connector cables...

I get the impression that thunderbolt 1 is all the LT-TB uses. So I was thinking I could do with the WD WDCA048RNN. Will this work? or do I need something better?? if so, does a cable being advertised as "apple" mean trouble for me and my plans?

thanks!

Julian

	Any certified Thunderbolt cable will work fine. That is the whole point of the certification process, so you don't have to worry about which on will work. TBT1 and TBT2 are exactly the same with regard to cabling.

	thanks David! Looks like the best combination of cheapest and most convenient for me to get is an apple thunderbolt cable, so I'll go grab one of those. Edited by JulianHigginson - July/25/2016 at 6:16pm
