How long can a Thunderbolt connection reach using fiber cables?

3 m
10 m
60 m
100 m

The correct answer is: 60 m

A Thunderbolt connection can reach a distance of up to 60 meters when using fiber optic cables. This capability significantly extends the range compared to traditional copper cables, which typically have much shorter lengths due to signal degradation issues. Fiber optic technology makes use of light signals transmitted through glass or plastic fibers, allowing for much longer distances while maintaining high bandwidth and performance. This makes it ideal for applications that require high-speed data transfer over significant distances, such as in audio/visual production environments or data center interconnectivity. The 60-meter specification applies to Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 standards, highlighting the advancements in Thunderbolt technology for high-speed connections.
