FAQs

What does USB-IF Certified mean for this cable?

USB-IF Certified means the cable has been rigorously tested by the USB Implementers Forum to meet strict performance, quality, and compatibility standards. This ensures reliable operation with USB4, Thunderbolt, and PCIe-enabled devices.

Can I use this cable with Thunderbolt 3 devices?

Yes, this USB4 cable is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices, offering data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps.

What is the maximum video resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable supports up to 8K at 120Hz or dual 4K displays at 120Hz via DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode with DSC, HBR3, and HDR10+.

How do I know if my devices support the full 80Gbps speed?

Check the specifications of your computer's USB-C ports and your peripheral devices. They must explicitly state support for USB4 Gen 4x2 or 80Gbps data transfer rates to achieve maximum performance.

Can I use this cable to charge my phone?

Yes, you can use this cable to charge USB-C devices, including phones. However, it will only deliver the maximum power supported by your phone and the charger, and the cable's full 240W capability is intended for high-power devices like laptops.

Is the cable flexible?

Yes, the cable features a flexible and durable TPE jacket designed to withstand tight bends and daily use.

What is the function of the laser-etched specifications on the connector?

The laser etching provides clear, on-connector identification of the USB4 specifications, helping users confirm compatibility and verify that they are getting the full performance the cable is capable of.

Troubleshooting

No connection or data transfer

Ensure both connected devices and ports support USB4 or Thunderbolt 4. Try a different USB4/Thunderbolt 4 port on your host device and peripheral. Verify the cable is fully seated in the ports. Test with another known working USB4 cable.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both devices and ports are capable of 80Gbps data transfer. Lower-speed devices or ports will limit the cable's performance. Check for other bandwidth-intensive operations on your system.

Video output issues (no image, low resolution, or flickering)

Verify that your source device, the cable, and the display all support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 8K 120Hz). Ensure DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode is enabled in your source device's settings if applicable. Try a lower resolution or refresh rate to test stability.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Ensure your power adapter or docking station provides at least 240W (or the required wattage for your device) and supports USB PD 3.1 EPR. Confirm the USB-C port on your power source is also capable of high power delivery. Check if the E-marker chip is functioning correctly by testing with another compatible high-power cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the latest USB4 standards for maximum speed and performance.
  • Delivers exceptionally high power output (240W) for charging demanding devices.
  • Capable of driving high-resolution and high-refresh-rate displays (8K/4K).
  • USB-IF certification ensures reliability and compatibility.
  • Durable construction with a TPE jacket for extended lifespan.

Cons

  • Full 80Gbps and 240W capabilities require compatible USB4/Thunderbolt 4 ports and devices.
  • Higher cost associated with cutting-edge USB4 technology.
  • White color might not fit all aesthetics.
  • 1.5-meter length might be too long or too short for some specific setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB-C connectors into the corresponding ports on your devices. No software installation is required; the cable supports Plug and Play functionality.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for USB4, Thunderbolt 4, and Thunderbolt 3 enabled devices. It is also backward compatible with USB Type-C ports, but performance will be limited by the capabilities of the older standard. Ensure your host device (computer, laptop) and peripheral device (monitor, dock, storage) both support the desired USB4 features (e.g., 80Gbps, DP 2.1 Alt Mode, 240W PD) to achieve maximum performance.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled, avoiding tight bends that could stress the jacket or internal wires.
  • Keep connectors clean. If necessary, gently clean with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Do not pull the cable by the wire; always grip the connector when unplugging.
