USB4 cable for high-bandwidth workflows

This two-metre USB4 cable delivers up to 40Gbps data transfer, 8K video at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz, and 240W power delivery. It suits creative professionals and power users who connect high-resolution displays, fast storage or docks to USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 hosts.

Practical limits of the USB4 interface

The 40Gbps bandwidth is shared between data and video streams, so simultaneous 8K output and peak file transfers may reduce available throughput. Passive copper construction limits the 40Gbps rate to this 2m length; longer runs require active or optical cables. Backward compatibility drops to the speed of the older USB 3.2, 3.1 or 2.0 device connected.

Installation notes and common issues

Male-to-male USB-C connectors plug directly into host and peripheral ports without adapters. The heavy shielding that enables 40Gbps and 240W makes the cable noticeably thicker and stiffer than standard USB-C leads, so allow extra bend radius behind desks. Flickering video usually means the GPU, dock or monitor lacks full USB4 or Thunderbolt video support; updating drivers and firmware often resolves it.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 2 m cable or a shorter one for 40 Gbps data?

The 2 m length is rated for the full 40 Gbps bandwidth, so choose it when you need the reach; shorter options such as .8 m or 1 m are also available if you prefer less slack.

What does the 40 Gbps rating mean when I copy files between two USB4 laptops?

You can sustain up to 40 Gbps transfer between USB4 hosts, and the cable falls back to 20 Gbps on USB4 20 Gbps devices or older USB 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 gear.

Which charging levels does the USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range actually deliver over this cable?

The cable negotiates 28 V at 140 W, 36 V at 180 W and 48 V at 240 W, so it will fast-charge any PD 3.1 EPR host up to the full 240 W.
