Cable Length 1.6 Feet

  • 240W power delivery via PD 3.1 Extended Power Range

USB4 cable with 40Gbps bandwidth

This USB4 cable connects USB-C devices at up to 40Gbps bi-directional speed. It carries 240W of power under the USB Power Delivery 3.1 Extended Power Range specification. The cable also supports 8K@60Hz or dual 4K@60Hz video output. It is built for users who need maximum data, power and display performance in a single link.

Plug-and-play with protocol fallback

The reversible USB-C connectors work in either orientation and require no driver installation. The cable negotiates PD 3.1, PD 3.0 PPS, PD 2.0, QC 4.0/3.0, AFC, SCP and FCP automatically. It falls back to USB 3.2, USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 when connected to older hosts. Daisy-chaining up to six Thunderbolt devices requires every link in the chain to support the protocol.

For single-cable docking and high-power laptops

This suits professionals driving an 8K monitor or dual 4K displays from one port while charging a 140W-class laptop. It also fits creators moving large media libraries at 40Gbps. Buyers who only need 100W charging or 10Gbps data will find cheaper, lighter cables that meet those lower requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 40Gbps data speed after connecting my devices?

Use a USB4 Gen 3x2 host and device; the operating system will report a 40 Gbps link speed when the connection is active.

What items are included and what must I provide separately to reach 240W charging?

The package contains the 1.6 ft USB C to USB C braided cable only; a 240W EPR PD 3.1 charger and a device that accepts 240W are required separately.

Which cable version should I choose to run a single 8K@60Hz display?

This USB4 Gen 3x2 cable supports 8K at 60 Hz, so the listed model meets that requirement.
