How about discussing the monitor? This thread cares only of a cable. I am for one ordering up to replace my 27”thunderbolt.
But... this topic IS about the cable. :confused:

Anyone think about putting the Studio Mac on the floor? Will 1M get you there? Is it a stupid idea in general?
That’s a good way to get extra dust into the system imo. Definitely don’t do it on carpet, considering where the intakes are.

Seems like too small of a machine to put on a floor. Maybe on a printer hutch, if you still have yours from when they were required furniture in the 80's.

I guess we're lucky Apple didn't pack a 0.8m cable instead.

Certainly a bit disappointing to have 1m as the default. My 2m Thunderbolt Display cables are already shorter than I would like.

2 meters requires an active cable. CalDigit sells a 2m Thunderbolt 4 cable for $75 that should work with this display.
