Thunderbolt 4 cable with Thunderbolt 3 connection?

I have a Thunderbolt 4 cable and would like to use it for a laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 port. Does it work?

So is the cable backwards compatible?

Thunderbolt 3 and 4 still have the same connector.

Then it is also compatible, yes.

Only the maximum speed of the slowest component is supported.
