Braided USB4.0 C-to-C Cable 5FT

The SMUGDESK cable is a USB4.0 Gen3 Type-C to Type-C cord rated for 40Gbps bandwidth, 240W power delivery and 8K UHD video. It suits users who need a single cable for high-speed data, fast charging and external display connections. An integrated E-Marker chip regulates voltage and current for safe operation with phones, laptops, docks and eGPU enclosures.

Suits high-bandwidth setups, not legacy ports

This cable fits builders who require 40Gbps throughput for eGPU or dual 4K@60Hz workflows and 240W charging for powerful laptops. It will not deliver its rated speed or power on hosts limited to USB 3.2 Gen2 20Gbps or lower PD profiles. Buyers whose devices only support 10Gbps or 60W should consider a less specified cord.

40Gbps USB4.0 Gen3 bandwidth decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 40Gbps USB4.0 Gen3 rating. Only hosts with USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 controllers can utilise the full data rate, 8K@60Hz or dual 4K video and 240W charging. On Gen2 ports bandwidth drops to 20Gbps and charging follows the host's lower PD limit.

Questions about this item

Which charger and device must I already own to reach the 240W charging rate?

You need a USB Power Delivery 3.1 charger rated for 240W (48V/5A) and a device that also supports PD 3.1 at that power level; the cable itself handles up to 240W.

Will this cable still work with my older 100W or 60W USB-C chargers and laptops?

Yes, it is backward compatible with lower power profiles such as 140W, 100W, 60W and 45W, so existing chargers and laptops will charge at their supported rates.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 40Gbps data or 8K video after I connect it?

Check the host OS link speed — it should show 40Gbps (Gen3) — and confirm the display runs at 8K@60Hz or dual 4K@60Hz; the E-Marker chip also negotiates the correct power and data modes automatically.
