Purpose and audience
This USB 4.0 Gen 3 cable delivers 40 Gbps data transfer and 240 W power delivery for professionals who connect Thunderbolt 3 or 4 hosts, docks and high-speed storage. It serves creators and engineers who need a single link for 8K video, rapid file moves and full-rate laptop charging.
Sustained-load behaviour
The integrated E-Marker chip negotiates PD 3.1 contracts up to 48 V 5 A and regulates voltage continuously, so a MacBook Pro reaches 86 % charge in 35 minutes while the link maintains 40 Gbps throughput. Backward compatibility with USB 3.2, 3.1 and 2.0 ensures stable operation when older peripherals share the same port.
Deciding specification
The cable supports one 8K 60 Hz or dual 4K 60 Hz displays only when the host USB-C port implements DisplayPort Alternate Mode; without Alt Mode the video capability is not available.
