According to a release, this product is being displayed at Intel Corp.'s booth during the Consumer Electronics Show held by the Consumer Electronics Association in Las Vegas. Sumitomo Electric said it has developed Thunderbolt cable based on Intel Corp.'s technical specifications. The Company launched its electrical Thunderbolt cable in April 2012 and started mass production of its optical Thunderbolt cable in December 2012. These products are receiving favorable reviews from the market.
