Cable overview

This SMUGDESK USB4 cable measures 1.5 ft and uses a nylon-braided jacket for durability. It connects any USB-C device to another USB-C port for charging, data or video. The cable supports up to 240 W power delivery at 48 V and 5 A when paired with a compatible charger. It is built for users who need a single short cable for high-power and high-bandwidth tasks.

Interface limits

The cable provides up to 40 Gbps bandwidth with USB4 Gen3 ports and drops to 20 Gbps with Gen2 ports. Video output reaches a single 8K display at 60 Hz or dual 4K displays at 60 Hz. Data transfer speed still depends on the host and device ports you connect, so the maximum rate is only achieved when both ends support the same generation.

Deciding specification

The 40 Gbps bandwidth rating is the single figure that determines whether this cable fits your workflow. If your setup requires the full 40 Gbps for eGPU enclosures or dual 4K monitors, this cable meets that ceiling. Buyers whose ports top out at lower speeds will not gain extra performance from this cable.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1.5 ft length for my desk setup?

The 1.5 ft cable keeps a tidy desk when your laptop and monitor or dock sit close together; allow a little slack so the nylon braid is not stretched tight.

What does the 40 Gbps rating mean when I copy files to an external drive?

You can move up to 14 hours of HD video or 25,000 photos in about a minute, but only if both the host port and the drive support the 40 Gbps lane; otherwise the link falls back to 20 Gbps.

Does the USB-C connector carry 240 W charging and 8K video at the same time?

Yes — the cable is rated for 48 V at 5 A (240 W) Power Delivery and has the 40 Gbps bandwidth needed for a single 8K 60 Hz display or dual 4K 60 Hz screens.
