Cable purpose and audience

This USB 4.0 Gen 3 cable connects Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 hosts with USB-C peripherals, docking stations and high-speed storage. It serves professionals who need 40 Gbps data transfer, 240 W charging and 8K video from a single 5 ft link.

Interface limits and backward compatibility

The cable reaches 40 Gbps with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 devices and falls back to USB 3.2, 3.1 and 2.0 speeds for older ports. Video output requires the host USB-C port to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode; without Alt Mode no external display signal is transmitted.

Deciding specification

The integrated E-Marker chip negotiates up to 240 W (48 V 5 A) Power Delivery 3.1 and regulates voltage for each connected device. If the charger or device cannot accept 240 W, the cable simply delivers the lower negotiated power.
