Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2, offering data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Can this cable charge my laptop?
Yes, if your laptop and power adapter support USB Power Delivery (PD) up to 100W, this cable can charge your laptop at that maximum rate.
What does the 'dual ferrite cores' do?
The ferrite cores act as chokes that help filter out high-frequency electromagnetic interference, resulting in a cleaner and more stable signal transmission, which is particularly beneficial for audio applications.
Is this cable compatible with Thunderbolt 3 or 4?
While this cable is not a Thunderbolt cable, it is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports for USB data transfer and charging, operating at its native USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10Gbps).
What is the length of the cable?
The cable is 1.0 meter (approximately 3.2 feet) in length.
Does it come with any accessories?
Yes, it includes a Chroma Tie velcro strap for easy cable management and storage.
What is the 56kO pull-up resistor for?
The 56kO pull-up resistor is a safety feature that helps protect your connected devices from potential damage due to overcurrent or voltage issues during USB Power Delivery.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or not charging
Ensure the cable is fully seated in both USB-C ports. Try a different USB-C port on your device. Verify that both devices and the power source support the required USB-C and Power Delivery standards. Test with another known working USB-C cable to rule out a cable fault.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both the source and destination devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds. Ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are competing for USB resources. Test the cable with different devices to ensure it's not a device limitation.
Audio interference or noise
Ensure the ferrite cores are positioned close to the connectors. Try repositioning the cable away from other power cables or sources of interference. Test with another cable to see if the noise persists, indicating a potential issue with the connected gear.
Cable is physically damaged
Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible signs of damage (fraying, cuts, bent pins). If damage is present, discontinue use immediately and replace the cable.
