See also On Thunderbolt Cable Quality. Enough stuff is wired into my 2013 Mac Pro and down under the desk that Thunderbolt cables of one color get confusing, fast.
For example, I now use a green Thunderbolt cable for Thunderbolt networking, a red cable to one group of drives, etc. Thunderbolt cables in red, green, blue, black.
Suggestion: choose a color for each Thunderbolt bus, something like red for bus 1, green for bus 2, blue for bus 3, black for daisy-chaining.
