How to use

To use the cable, simply plug one USB Type-C connector into the host device, such as a laptop or computer, and the other connector into the compatible peripheral, display, or power adapter. Ensure both connected devices support the specific features you intend to use, such as high-wattage power delivery or high-refresh-rate video output. The built-in e-marker chip will automatically negotiate the optimal connection parameters between the devices without requiring additional configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your host device and peripherals feature USB Type-C ports capable of supporting USB4 or Thunderbolt standards to achieve maximum speeds
• Confirm the power requirements of your laptop or device to ensure compatibility with the 240W power delivery capability
• Check the display output specifications of your computer if you plan to connect high-resolution monitors using DisplayPort Alternate Mode

Usage recommendations: Handle the cable with care by avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling near the connector joints. Store it loosely coiled when not in use to maintain internal wiring integrity and ensure long-term reliability.
