welcome to a very exciting unboxing this
0:11
is the Apple Thunderbolt cable this is a
0:14
2m cable and it is $50 now there's a reason it's $50 but I
0:21
don't know if that necessarily accounts for the entire cost and that is because
0:25
Thunderbolt cables are active cables meaning they have actual processing
0:28
chips in both end to enable the Thunderbolt signal to be turned into a
0:33
like other more different Thunderbolt signal and then passed along a long distance carrying huge 10 gabit per
0:39
second bandwidth both ways and daisy chaining things and all kinds of
0:42
performance however I figure if it's a $50 cable who knows what kind of effects
0:48
unboxing it could have so we're going to
0:51
start by undoing the packaging here
0:55
which Apple has helpfully covered with all kinds of warranty information and ke
1:00
and SE and all that kinds of good stuff okay and there's uh hold on we should
1:04
check the instructions to see if they have any information about uh what
1:08
happens when you open this
1:12
cable uhhuh okay
1:27
interesting I have the power
