  • 40Gbps bandwidth moves massive RAW footage and project archives in seconds
  • 100W PD charges laptops, tablets and phones while data flows
  • 8K@60Hz and 5K@60Hz video drives professional UHD monitors for editing
  • USB4.0 spec with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 interoperability plus USB 3.2 and 3.1 backward compatibility
  • Built-in E-Marker chip and reinforced connectors keep signals stable for long service life

What this cable delivers

This 0.5-metre USB4 Type-C cable carries 40Gbps data, up to 100W power delivery and 8K@60Hz or 5K@60Hz video in a single connection. It is built for creative professionals and power users who move large project files between a laptop and an external NVMe SSD or docking station while keeping the host charged.

When the upgrade makes sense

If your current cable tops out at USB 3.1 or 3.2 speeds, the jump to 40Gbps cuts transfer time for RAW footage and game libraries dramatically. The step is worth it when you regularly push multi-gigabyte assets to Thunderbolt 3 or 4 docks, external GPUs or high-resolution monitors and need simultaneous charging without swapping leads.

Check before you buy

Verify that both host and peripheral have USB-C ports that support USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 to unlock the full 40Gbps bandwidth and 100W charging. The cable is backward compatible with USB 3.x devices, but video output and maximum power require the host port to carry DisplayPort Alt Mode and PD negotiation. Confirm your monitor accepts 8K or 5K at 60Hz over a single Type-C link.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the reinforced connector need at the USB-C port?

The cable is .5 metres long with reinforced connectors that fit standard USB-C ports; allow a few centimetres behind the device so the strain relief is not bent sharply.

Which end plugs in first when connecting a Thunderbolt 4 dock?

Either end works — both are USB-C with E-Marker chips — but seat the connector fully until it clicks so the 40Gbps link and 100W power negotiate correctly.

When should the cable be replaced to keep 8K@60Hz video reliable?

Replace it if the connectors become loose, the jacket shows kinks, or 8K@60Hz output drops to a lower resolution, as the E-Marker chip and shielding degrade with heavy bending.
