What this cable delivers

The ESTONE PQ004 is a USB4 Gen 3x2 cable with USB C male connectors on both ends. It carries up to 40Gbps of data, supports 8K video at 60Hz and delivers up to 240W of power through USB Power Delivery 3.1. The braided black jacket is 5ft long and the cable works bidirectionally with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 hosts.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

Creative professionals moving large media libraries between Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 docks, SSDs and laptops will use the full 40Gbps bandwidth. MacBook Pro users gain single-cable charging at 240W and 8K external display output. Buyers whose devices only support USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3 will be limited to 20Gbps data and lower power delivery, so the extra headroom goes unused.

Capacity and headroom

At 40Gbps the link can transfer roughly 14 hours of HD video or 25,000 photos in about one minute when both ends support Gen 3x2. The 240W (48V/5A) rating covers every current USB-C laptop, tablet and phone, leaving ample margin for future devices. Video output tops out at a single 7680x4320 60Hz stream or two 4K 60Hz streams, so three or more high-refresh monitors exceed what this cable can carry.

Questions about this item

What power-delivery standard must my charger support for the cable to deliver its full 240 W (48 V/5 A) rating?

The cable implements PD 3.1 with PPS, so the charger must also support PD 3.1 PPS at 48 V/5 A to reach 240 W.

Will the cable still carry video and data if I connect it to a Thunderbolt 3 port on an older laptop?

Yes, it is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and will negotiate the highest speed and display mode both ends support.

How can I confirm the link is running at the full 40 Gbps Gen 3×2 rate after plugging it in?

On macOS check System Report → Thunderbolt/USB4 for 40 Gbps link speed; on Windows use Device Manager or a USB4-certified dock that displays the negotiated Gen 3×2 rate.
