Transferring files from your old computer to your new computer has traditionally been measured in hours. And depending on the size of the transfer, it could easily take longer still.

With the new Thunderbolt Transfer Cable from Plugable (TBT-TRAN), you can transfer the contents of one computer to another at speeds of up to 10Gbps. That means 1TB of data can move between computers in minutes rather than hours. The Control Other Computer feature lets you view and control the connected computer’s desktop, with your keyboard and mouse. This local connection is a secure and simple way to remotely access another computer.

If it was as easy as just tethering two computers with a cord, then just any old cord would do. But the data cable only dictates the speed at which the data can flow. And while a well-built Thunderbolt cable is your fastest bet, you still need a software solution. The Plugable TBT-TRAN comes bundled with a license for Easy Computer Sync software by Bravura.

With Easy Computer Sync, and the included Thunderbolt data transfer cable pc to pc, securely transfer your important files between two Thunderbolt or USB4-equipped Windows computers. No external hard drive necessary, and after you’ve downloaded the software, you won’t need an internet connection either. The product key is connected directly to the cable—so you won’t lose it—and comes with unlimited transfers of unlimited data across an unlimited number of computers.

If you have two Windows computers with Thunderbolt or USB4 ports, you can transfer files between them.

Not compatible with USB-C ports without Thunderbolt or USB 2.0/3.0 ports.

And, while the TBT-TRAN is more than just a Thunderbolt cable, when you aren’t using it to transfer files between computers, you can still use it as just a Thunderbolt cable (40 Gbps).
