Purpose-built cable

The SMUGDESK USB4 cable is a 1.5 ft USB-C to USB-C link rated for 40 Gbps data, 240 W power delivery at 48 V 5 A, and 8K video at 60 Hz. It targets users who need a single short cable to charge high-power laptops, drive an 8K display or move large datasets between SSD enclosures and workstations. Thunderbolt 3 and 4 hosts are supported alongside PD 3.1 and QC 4.0 chargers.

Fit and limits

Creators docking an 8K monitor, engineers running an eGPU or anyone charging a 240 W laptop from a compact GaN brick will find the bandwidth and power headroom they need. Buyers who need longer reach for desk routing or cable management should look at something else. The fixed 1.5 ft length also makes it unsuitable for connections that span a room or a rack.

Deciding spec

The single figure that decides fit is the 40 Gbps USB4 bandwidth, which enables 8K 60 Hz or dual 4K 60 Hz video and 25000 photo transfers per minute. If your host port is limited to 20 Gbps the cable will still work but cannot deliver its rated video or throughput ceiling.

Questions about this item

How long is the cable and will it reach between a laptop and dock on a desk?

The cable is 1.5 ft long, designed for short runs such as a laptop and dock sitting side by side.

What is the correct orientation when plugging the USB‑C connectors for 40 Gbps data?

Both ends are identical USB‑C; insert either end into the host and the other into the device — no specific orientation is required.

Does the cable itself wear out or need periodic replacement?
