Cable Length 1.6 Feet

  • Charges laptops at up to 240W for rapid power delivery
  • Transfers data at 40Gbps when both devices support the speed
  • Drives an 8K display at 60Hz for ultra-sharp video
  • Works with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 hosts
  • Braided 1.6ft cable resists tangling and daily wear

USB4 cable for 240W charging

This 1.6 ft USB4 cable delivers up to 240W of power at 48V/5A and supports 40Gbps data transfer. It handles 8K video at 60Hz or dual 4K displays using two cables. The braided construction suits daily connection between laptops, monitors, hubs, SSDs and docks.

Suits high-power laptops and fast external storage

Users who need maximum charging speed and top-tier data rates for Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 hosts will benefit. Buyers whose devices only support lower power delivery or slower USB standards will not see the full 240W or 40Gbps performance from this cable.

Plug-and-play with standard USB-C ports

Both ends use the common USB-C connector so installation is a simple insert. The short 1.6 ft length limits reach between devices placed far apart. Ensure the host and peripheral both support the desired power and data specifications to avoid bottlenecks.

Questions about this item

Do I need a USB-C charger rated for 240W to get the full charging speed?

Yes — the cable supports up to 240W (48V/5A), so your power adapter and the laptop must both accept that level to reach the maximum rate.

Will this cable work with my older Thunderbolt 3 dock and USB 3.2 SSD?

It is backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2, USB 3.1 and USB 3.0, so the dock and SSD will function at their own rated speeds.

How can I verify the 40Gbps link is active after connecting my SSD?

Check the drive's reported transfer rate in your OS; a sustained read or write near 40Gbps confirms the cable is operating at its top speed.
