Product Information

Full details

This kenable Pro USB4 cable is designed for users needing maximum speed and power delivery, such as professionals handling large data files or users with high-performance laptops and external devices. Its key benefit is enabling ultra-fast 40Gbps data transfers and rapid 240W charging, alongside high-resolution 8K video output. A potential caveat is that achieving the full 40Gbps speeds requires both the cable and connected devices to support USB4 standards; older USB versions will operate at their respective speeds.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable supports a maximum data transfer speed of 40Gbps when used with devices that are fully USB4 compliant.

Can this cable charge my laptop at full speed?

Yes, it supports up to 240W Power Delivery (PD 3.1 EPR), which is sufficient for most high-performance laptops, provided your power adapter and laptop also support this standard.

Will this cable work with my Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 device?

Yes, this USB4 cable is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 devices, offering similar data transfer and display capabilities.

What is the maximum video resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable supports up to 8K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate, provided your source device and display are also capable of these specifications.

Is this cable suitable for older USB 2.0 devices?

Yes, it is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but it will operate at the slower speeds of the USB 2.0 standard.

What does 'TPE' mean in the product description?

TPE stands for Thermoplastic Elastomer, which is a durable and flexible material used for the cable's outer jacket, offering good resistance to wear and tear.

Does the cable come with any warranty?

Please refer to the kenable product page or contact customer support for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

No data transfer or slow speeds

Ensure both connected devices support USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4. Try connecting to different USB4/Thunderbolt ports. Check if the device firmware is up to date. Use a shorter, known-good USB4 cable to test if the issue lies with the cable.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Verify that both the power adapter and the device support 240W PD 3.1 EPR. Ensure the power adapter is plugged into a wall outlet. Try a different compatible power adapter and device.

Video output is not working or is distorted

Confirm that the source device, the cable, and the display all support 8K resolution at 60Hz. Check that the display is configured correctly for the input. Try a lower resolution or refresh rate to test basic video functionality.

Cable feels stiff or has kinks

Handle the cable gently and avoid sharp bends. If kinks are present, gently try to straighten them without forcing. The TPE material offers some flexibility, but repeated stress can damage internal wiring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely high data transfer speeds for professional workflows.
  • Supports the latest 240W PD standard for rapid charging of demanding devices.
  • Capable of driving 8K video at 60Hz for high-fidelity displays.
  • Backward compatible with a wide array of USB and Thunderbolt devices.
  • Robust and flexible TPE cable construction enhances longevity.

Cons

  • Full 40Gbps speed requires USB4-compliant devices on both ends.
  • 240W charging requires a compatible USB PD 3.1 EPR power source and device.
  • 8K video output depends on the capabilities of the connected source and display.
  • 1-meter length may be insufficient for some desk setups or longer runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-C connector into the corresponding ports on your devices. For optimal performance, ensure both the source device (e.g., computer, hub) and the destination device (e.g., external drive, display) support USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 standards. For 240W charging, both the power adapter and the device being charged must support USB PD 3.1 EPR.

Compatibility: This cable is backward compatible with USB 3.2, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, and Thunderbolt 3/4. Devices using older USB standards will operate at the maximum speed supported by that standard.

Care: To maintain the cable's performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends, pulling the cable by the connector, and exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture. Clean the connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Store the cable loosely coiled rather than tightly wound.
