SKU CH-FTS5-KKC24 MPN USB4

USB4 cable delivers 40 Gbps data, 240 W charging and 8K 60 Hz video over five feet

Cable Length 5 Feet

Model USB4

  • 240W fast charging powers demanding laptops and tools
  • 40Gbps USB4 speed moves large files in seconds
  • 8K@60Hz video output drives high-resolution displays
  • 48V extended power range supports industrial and e-mobility gear
  • Built-in safety resistor keeps current stable at 5A

What this cable does

This USB4 cable carries up to 40Gbps of data, delivers up to 240W of power at 48V and supports single 8K@60Hz or dual 4K@60Hz video output. It works with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 and earlier USB standards. The 5ft length suits desktop and dock connections. Built-in safety resistors keep current stable at 5A.

Who benefits and who does not

Professionals moving large files between USB4 or Thunderbolt hosts will see the full 40Gbps throughput. Laptops and devices that accept 140W or 240W PD 3.1 charging can charge at maximum speed. Devices limited to 100W or lower PD versions will only charge at their own supported rate. Hosts without USB4 or Thunderbolt cannot reach the 40Gbps data rate or the 8K video modes.

The deciding specification

The cable is certified for USB4 Gen 3x2 at 40Gbps and USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range up to 240W. If your host, charger and device all support USB4 40Gbps and PD 3.1 EPR, you get the maximum data, power and video performance. If any link in the chain stops at 20Gbps or 100W, the cable will still work but only at that lower capability.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 5 ft length or a shorter cable for my setup?

The cable is 5 ft long; choose this length if you need reach between desk devices, or a shorter one if you prefer less slack.

Will I actually see 40 Gbps transfer speeds when I plug this into my laptop?

You will reach 40 Gbps only if both the host and the peripheral support USB4 Gen 3x2; otherwise the link falls back to the highest speed both ends share.

Does the USB-C connector limit charging to 100 W like older cables?

No — this cable carries USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range up to 48 V at 5 A, delivering 240 W when the charger and device both support it.
