All Thunderbolt cables can heat up because they contain microchips and transmit electrical energy as well as data.The StarTech 0,5m Thunderbolt cable seems to get hotter than Apple cables and it appears to cause the attached device to heat up. I attached it to a Seagate Thunderbolt adapter and the Seagate drive became very warm after a few minutes. I had to run it next to a fan to cool it. The cable itself, especially at the ends where the electronics are located, seems to get hotter than Apple Thunderbolt cables. I have four Apple Thunderbolt cables and none of them heat up as much as the StarTech cable under similar conditions.
I'm disappointed with the apparent poor heat dissipation of the StarTech Thunderbolt cable, since the length and the appearance of this cable are exactly what I was looking for.
I suggest potential buyers spend some time to research reviews of black Thunderbolt cables in general, including products that include them. It's possible they are coming from the same source. It's also possible that my experience is an isolated incident.
If this is an isolated incident then these are nice cables, if overheating is a general issue then prepare to be disappointed in this otherwise fine product.
