One cable for every USB-C device

This 1.6ft cable carries 240W charging, 40Gbps data and 8K@60Hz video over a single USB-C connection. It works with laptops, phones, tablets, monitors and eGPU enclosures that accept USB-C or Thunderbolt ports. One lead replaces the tangle of separate power, video and data cables on a desk or in a bag.

Upgrade from slower or lower-power cables

A legacy 10Gbps or 20Gbps cable limits an eGPU or dual 4K@60Hz setup to half the available bandwidth. A 60W or 100W cable cannot deliver the 240W a modern gaming laptop may request. The jump is worth it when the host, charger and peripheral all support USB4 Gen3 or Thunderbolt 3/4 at 40Gbps and PD 3.1 at 48V/5A.

Plug in and go — watch the port, not the cable

Both ends are standard USB-C so installation takes seconds. The cable itself is passive and needs no driver. The only common mistake is plugging into a USB-C port that only runs at 10Gbps or 20Gbps, which caps speed at 20Gbps instead of 40Gbps. Check the host specification before blaming the lead.

Questions about this item

What length is the SMUGDESK USB4 cable so I know if it reaches my desk setup?

The cable is 1.6 ft long, so measure from your port to the device to confirm it reaches without tension.

Which orientation do the USB-C connectors need for the 40 Gbps data rate to work?

Both ends are USB-C and reversible; plug either side into the host and the peripheral, then verify the port supports USB4 Gen3 for the full 40 Gbps.

How often should I inspect the cable for wear given the 240 W power rating?

Check the connectors and jacket every few months for discolouration, kinks or loose shells; replace immediately if any damage appears to avoid overheating at 48 V 5 A.
