Troubleshooting

No connection or device not recognized

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Verify that both devices have compatible USB-C ports (USB4/Thunderbolt 3 for full features). Try a different USB-C port on your device. Restart your computer or device.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both your host device and the connected peripheral support USB4 or Thunderbolt 3 speeds. Older USB ports will limit transfer rates. Ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are competing for the same port resources.

Display not working or flickering

Check that your device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Ensure your display is compatible. Try a shorter, simpler connection or a different display if possible. Verify the cable is fully seated.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Confirm that your device and charger support USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 and the 100W wattage. Ensure the cable is properly connected. Some laptops require specific power adapters to utilize full charging speeds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-C connector into the corresponding port on your device and the other end into your peripheral or host. For full functionality, ensure both connected devices support USB 4 or Thunderbolt 3 standards and relevant features like DisplayPort Alt Mode or Power Delivery.

Compatibility: This cable is certified USB 4 and Thunderbolt 3 compatible. It supports USB Type-C ports and is backward compatible with USB 3.2 (Gen 1 & 2) and USB 2.0 devices. However, to achieve 40Gbps speeds and utilize advanced features like multi-4K displays or Thunderbolt 3, both your host device and the peripheral must have USB4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports. For video output, the host device's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free of dust. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture. Store the cable neatly to prevent kinks or damage to the internal wiring. The cable features PVC connectors for durability.
