Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is USB4 and what are its benefits?

USB4 is a new standard that tunnels multiple protocols, including DisplayPort and PCIe, over a USB-C connection. It offers speeds up to 40Gbps or 80Gbps, supports high-resolution displays, and provides advanced power delivery. This cable supports the 80Gbps variant.

Does this cable work with Thunderbolt 4 devices?

Yes, this USB4 cable is designed to be fully compatible with Thunderbolt 4 devices, offering the same data transfer speeds, display capabilities, and power delivery where supported by the Thunderbolt 4 host.

What is the maximum power delivery this cable supports?

This cable supports up to 240W of USB Power Delivery 3.1 (Extended Power Range - EPR). However, to achieve this, you must use a compatible 240W USB-C PD 3.1 (EPR) power source (charger or dock) and a device that can accept that level of power.

Can I use this cable for 8K video?

Yes, this cable supports 8K resolution at up to 120Hz, or dual 4K displays at up to 120Hz, when connected to devices that support DisplayPort 2.1 Alternate Mode with DSC.

How do I know if my devices are compatible with this cable's full capabilities?

Check the specifications of your computer, docking station, display, and power adapter. Look for support for USB4, Thunderbolt 4, DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode, and USB Power Delivery 3.1 (EPR) to ensure you can utilize the cable's maximum potential.

What does USB-IF Certified mean?

USB-IF Certification means the cable has been rigorously tested by an independent body to ensure it meets the USB Implementers Forum's strict performance, safety, and compatibility standards for USB4. This guarantees reliable operation and adherence to specifications.

What is the benefit of the E-marker chip?

The integrated E-marker chip communicates with your connected devices and power source to negotiate the optimal power delivery and data transfer capabilities. This ensures safe, stable, and consistent charging and data communication.

Is this cable braided?

No, this cable features a durable, flexible, and eco-friendly Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) jacket, rather than a braided nylon material.

Troubleshooting

No connection or data transfer

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct USB-C ports. Verify that the connected devices support USB4 or the intended protocol. Try a different USB-C port on your devices. Test the cable with different compatible devices to isolate the issue.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both connected devices support USB4 and are configured to operate at the highest possible speed. Check the device's specifications; some may limit speeds even with a high-performance cable. Ensure no other background applications are consuming significant bandwidth.

Display not working or flickering

Verify that your host device, graphics card, and display all support the resolution and refresh rate you are trying to achieve (e.g., 8K 120Hz). Ensure the cable is fully seated in the ports. Try a lower resolution or refresh rate to see if stability improves. Update graphics drivers on your computer.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Confirm that the connected USB-C power adapter or dock supports USB Power Delivery 3.1 (EPR) and provides sufficient wattage (up to 240W). Ensure the power adapter is properly connected. Check the charging capabilities of the device being charged; it may have its own power limitations.

Cable appears damaged

Do not use the cable if you notice any physical damage to the connectors or the cable jacket. Contact customer support for assistance or a replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest USB4 standards for maximum speed and performance.
  • Enables high-resolution, high-refresh-rate video output for demanding visual tasks.
  • Provides up to 240W of Power Delivery for charging powerful laptops.
  • USB-IF certification guarantees compatibility and reliable operation.
  • Clear connector markings simplify identification and usage.
  • Durable construction with TPE jacket and EMI shielding.

Cons

  • Requires compatible USB4, Thunderbolt 4, or USB-C ports on both devices and the power source to achieve full capabilities.
  • The 1-meter length may be too short for some workstation setups.
  • Maximum performance depends heavily on the capabilities of connected devices and chargers.
  • High-end features may be overkill for users with basic connectivity needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect the USB-C ends of the cable to the corresponding ports on your devices. Ensure that the devices you are connecting support USB4, Thunderbolt 4, or USB-C with the necessary features (e.g., DisplayPort Alternate Mode, USB Power Delivery) to utilize the cable's full capabilities.

Compatibility:

  • Host Devices: Compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-C® port that supports USB4, Thunderbolt™ 3, Thunderbolt 4, or USB 3.2/3.1/3.0 (performance may be limited to the host device's standard).
  • Displays: Supports resolutions and refresh rates up to 8K 120Hz or dual 4K 120Hz via DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode. Ensure your display and graphics card support these standards.
  • Power Adapters/Docks: To achieve up to 240W Power Delivery, a compatible USB-C PD 3.1 (EPR) charger or docking station is required. Lower wattage chargers will negotiate to the maximum supported power.
  • Backward Compatibility: The cable is backward compatible with USB 3.2, USB 3.1, and USB 3.0 devices, though speeds will be limited to those standards.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the cable and connectors gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling the cable, which can stress the wires over time. Use the TPE jacket's flexibility to manage the cable without sharp bends.
  • Handling: Avoid pulling the cable by the cord; always grasp the connector when plugging or unplugging devices. Inspect the cable periodically for any signs of damage.
