Convenient USB-C Power Switch

The IOGEAR ZK042 is a 6-foot USB-C extension cable with an inline on/off switch. It lets users cut power to monitors, printers or gaming peripherals without unplugging the connector. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain conductivity. The cable supports 4K video signals for display connections.

Desk Users Needing Quick Power Toggle

This cable suits anyone who wants to power-cycle a USB-C device from the desk instead of reaching behind a monitor or hub. It is not for buyers who need longer reach than six feet. It is also not for setups that require power delivery negotiation beyond what a passive copper extension provides.

Stable Signal Over Extended Length

The copper conductor carries data and video reliably across the full six-foot run. Gold plating keeps contact resistance low during repeated on/off cycles. The inline switch interrupts power cleanly without introducing signal artefacts. Performance stays consistent during sustained display or peripheral use.

Questions about this item

Which USB-C port on my monitor or printer does the male end of this ZK042 cable plug into?

The male connector inserts into any standard USB-C receptacle on the display, printer or gaming device you want to control.

Will the inline switch cut power to a legacy USB-A dock that I connect through a USB-C-to-A adapter?

Yes, the switch interrupts the power path on the cable itself, so any downstream device — including an adapted USB-A dock — loses power when toggled off.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering a 4K signal after I flip the switch on?

Verify that the connected monitor reports its native 4K resolution and refresh rate in the OS display settings with no flicker or fallback mode.
