StarTech 1.6 ft USB4 40 Gbps Cable
This StarTech cable is a USB4 certified connection that moves data at 40 Gbps over a 1.6 ft male-to-male link. The black jacket uses nickel construction and carries 24 pins at each USB Type-C end. It is built for direct device-to-device transfers where the short length keeps the signal clean.
For USB4 hosts that need full 40 Gbps throughput
Creators moving large video projects between two USB4 laptops or docking a high-speed SSD will get the rated bandwidth. Users whose ports top out at 20 Gbps or below cannot use the extra headroom, and anyone needing a longer reach for desk routing should look at a different length.
The 40 Gbps USB4 certification decides fit
Only hosts and peripherals that implement USB4 at 40 Gbps will unlock the cable’s maximum speed; slower USB-C ports will negotiate down to their own limit. Match the port specification to the cable rating before buying.
