WENTRONIC Goobay USB-C cable USB4 Version 2.0 1 m, black/silver

The WENTRONIC Goobay USB-C cable USB4 Version 2.0 1 m, black/silver is a USB-C to USB-C data and power cable built to the USB4 v2.0 specification. It offers a single-cable connection for high-speed data transfer, video output and power delivery between compatible laptops, tablets, smartphones, external drives and docking stations. The 1 metre length and reversible USB-C connectors make it suitable for desktop and mobile setups where compact, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This cable supports the USB4 v2.0 standard, enabling high data throughput and compatibility with devices that implement USB4. It carries both data and power, allowing for device charging and peripheral operation over the same connection. The 1 m length balances reach and signal integrity, and the USB-C to USB-C form factor provides a reversible connector that is simple to plug in. The cable’s construction aims to provide reliable connections for tasks such as fast file transfers, video output and connecting external storage or docking stations.

Suitable for

• High-speed file transfers between USB4-capable computers and external SSDs or HDDs
• Video output to monitors or docking stations that accept USB4/USB-C alternate modes
• Charging laptops, tablets or phones where power delivery over USB-C is supported
• Connecting docks and hubs to a host device for multi-peripheral setups

When it may not be suitable

If either device does not support USB4 or the specific USB4 v2.0 features required (for example, highest aggregated bandwidth or a particular alternate mode), the cable will fall back to the highest mutually supported standard and may not deliver the full USB4 v2.0 performance. It is not a replacement for specialized cables that require fixed, proprietary pinouts or connectors other than USB-C.

Key specifications

• Cable type: USB-C to USB-C
• USB specification: USB4 Version 2.0 compliant
• Length: 1 metre
• Primary functions: data transfer, video output (via alternate mode when supported), power delivery
• Color: black and silver

How to use

Connect one USB-C plug to the host device (laptop, tablet or smartphone) and the other USB-C plug to the peripheral (external drive, monitor, docking station or charger). Ensure both devices support the desired function (data transfer, video or power delivery). For video output, confirm that the monitor or dock supports the USB-C alternate mode in use. For charging, verify the host and peripheral negotiate a compatible power profile. The cable is reversible, so orientation does not matter when plugging in.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm both devices support USB4 or the required fallback USB standard for your use case
• Verify the power delivery requirements of your devices to ensure appropriate charging capability
• Check whether your display or dock supports the USB-C alternate mode needed for video output

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium length connections where USB4 bandwidth and integrated power delivery are needed; store it without tight bends and avoid excessive tension to preserve long-term signal integrity and connector reliability.
