Product Information

Full details

The Startech CC1M80GUSB4CABLE is a premium USB4 cable designed for IT professionals and power users who need high-speed data transfer, advanced video output, and robust power delivery. Its key benefit is unifying multiple functionalities into a single, reliable connection, supporting up to 80Gb/s data, 8K 120Hz video, and 240W Power Delivery (PD) via USB-C. A potential caveat is that to achieve the full 240W PD, a compatible USB PD 3.1 EPR charger and device are required.

Can this cable charge my laptop at full speed?

Yes, it supports up to 240W Power Delivery (USB PD 3.1 EPR), but you will need a compatible 240W EPR USB-C charger and a laptop that supports this charging standard.

What video resolutions and refresh rates does this cable support?

What does USB-IF certification mean for this cable?

USB-IF certification means the cable has been rigorously tested to meet strict electrical and mechanical standards, ensuring reliable performance, signal integrity, and interoperability.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) long.

Can I use this cable with older USB-C devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older USB versions (USB 3.2, 3.1, 2.0), but the performance will be limited by the capabilities of the older devices.

Troubleshooting

No power delivery or slow charging

Ensure both the cable and your charger/device support USB PD 3.1 EPR for full 240W. Verify that the charger and device are connected securely and are compatible with each other for high-wattage charging.

Video output not working or at lower resolution/refresh rate

Confirm that your device supports DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode and that your display can handle the desired resolution (e.g., 8K 120Hz). Ensure the cable is fully seated in both the host and display ports.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both your source and destination devices support USB4 or Thunderbolt at 80Gb/s. For optimal speeds, use with USB4-certified docks, SSDs, or other high-performance peripherals.

Cable not recognized by the system

Try using the cable with a different USB-C or Thunderbolt port on your device. Ensure your operating system and device drivers are up to date.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply connect the USB-C ends of the cable to your compatible devices. No software installation is required, as it supports Plug and Play.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for USB4, Thunderbolt 4, and Thunderbolt 3 devices. It is backward compatible with USB 3.2, USB 3.1, and USB 2.0, though speeds will be limited by the lowest version in the chain. Ensure your host device, peripheral, and charger (if applicable) support the desired features (e.g., USB4, 8K, 240W PD) to achieve maximum performance.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connectors. Store in a dry place when not in use. Clean the TPE jacket with a slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
