Apple starts selling black Thunderbolt Cables alongside new Mac Pro

The new Mac Pro is not Apple’s only new blacked-out product: to go with the new pro machine, Apple has released black versions of its 0.5 meter and 2 meter Thunderbolt cables. These cords have Thunderbolt ports on either side, and they work well for transferring data between Macs, connecting to hard drives, and connecting to various other Thunderbolt 1.0 or 2.0 peripherals. Apple is still selling the white cords, and the longer version is $39 per cable and the shorter is $29 (try Amazon for some less expensive options).

Update: Continuing the black theme, the Apple stickers that come with the Mac Pro are black (see above):

    $39 for a cable…. nice….. I might just get a similar one for $0.99 on Ebay….

      Good luck with that. Thunderbolt cables are quite complex to make, with embedded chips in the connectors. I’d never trust data that I’m protecting with a RAID-5 external drive array to a crappy cable.

      It would be nice though if the price were $10-$15 cheaper…

      Well, ignorance is bliss. Enjoy your crap that will break in a week.

        How do you “break” a cable? I’ve never seen that happen.

        Either way I would probably pay the extra for the black cables.
