Ultra-Short USB4 Cable for Portable Gear
This 0.4ft USB-C to USB-C cable meets the USB4 specification and delivers up to 40Gbps data transfer, PD 100W charging and 8K video output. It is built for users who connect external NVMe SSD enclosures, docking stations or monitors to laptops and tablets. The compact length keeps portable setups tidy and eliminates slack that snags in bags. Backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ensures broad device support.
Plug-and-Play With Reinforced Ends
Installation is straightforward: connect both Type-C ends and the integrated E-Marker chip negotiates power and speed automatically. No drivers or firmware updates are required for standard USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 hosts. The reinforced strain-relief collars resist damage from repeated insertion and sharp bends at the connector base. The only common issue is attempting runs longer than the fixed 0.4ft length, which this cable cannot accommodate.
Sustained 40Gbps Throughput in Tight Spaces
Under continuous heavy loads such as extended NVMe backup jobs or 8K video streaming, the cable maintains its rated 40Gbps bandwidth without thermal throttling. The flexible soft sheath dissipates heat effectively during prolonged PD 100W charging sessions. Signal integrity remains stable because the short run minimises attenuation and crosstalk. Performance stays consistent whether the cable is folded flat against a dock or bent around a portable drive.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the cable is delivering the full 40Gbps data rate after connecting my NVMe SSD enclosure?
Check the operating system's reported link speed for the attached NVMe enclosure; it should show a 40Gbps USB4 connection when the cable, enclosure and host port all support that rate.
What comes in the box and is a power adapter included for the 100W charging capability?
The package contains only the .4ft USB-C to USB-C cable; a separate USB-C power adapter capable of 100W output must be purchased separately to enable PD 100W charging.
Should I choose this .4ft version or a longer cable for connecting a laptop to an 8K monitor?
Choose the .4ft cable only when the laptop and monitor ports are extremely close, such as on a compact docking station; otherwise select a longer USB4-certified cable to avoid tension on the connectors.
