The integration of a PD 3.1 E-Marker chip ensures intelligent power management, allowing for safe and efficient charging of high-wattage devices. Furthermore, its versatility is unmatched, as it supports high-resolution video output up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz, making it an excellent choice for creative professionals and power users who require both speed and visual clarity in a single, durable cable.

Suitable for

• Connecting high-performance laptops to docking stations
• Transferring large data files between external SSDs and computers
• Powering high-wattage devices with USB-C PD support
• Connecting external monitors supporting 8K or 4K resolutions
• Professional workstations requiring Thunderbolt 3 or 4 compatibility

When it may not be suitable

This cable is optimized for high-speed USB-C and Thunderbolt environments and may be overkill for basic charging or low-speed data tasks where standard, less expensive cables would suffice. Additionally, its 0.8-meter length is relatively short, which may not be suitable for setups where the connected devices are placed far apart.

Key specifications

• Data transfer speed: Up to 40Gbps
• Power delivery: Up to 240W (PD 3.1)
• Video support: Up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz
• Cable length: 0.8 meters
• Connectors: USB-C to USB-C
• Compatibility: USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.0, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one USB-C connector into your host device, such as a laptop or docking station, and the other connector into your peripheral or power adapter. Ensure that both connected devices support the required USB-C standards to achieve the maximum data transfer and charging speeds. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional software or drivers for operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices support the USB-C or Thunderbolt standards required for 40Gbps data transfer.
• Check the power requirements of your device to ensure compatibility with the 240W charging capacity.
• Confirm that the 0.8-meter length is sufficient for your specific desk or workstation layout.
• Ensure your monitor or docking station supports the video output resolutions you intend to use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on it. When disconnecting, always pull by the connector housing rather than the cable itself to maintain the integrity of the internal wiring.
