FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This USB4 cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps when connected to compatible USB4 or Thunderbolt devices and ports.

Can this cable charge my laptop at full speed?

Yes, it supports up to 240W Power Delivery (PD 3.1) for compatible high-performance laptops, provided your power adapter also supports this standard.

Will this cable work with my Thunderbolt 3 device?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 devices, offering the best possible performance supported by your Thunderbolt device.

What is the maximum video resolution this cable can support?

The cable can support up to 8K resolution at 60Hz when used with compatible USB4 or Thunderbolt hosts and displays.

Is the 1-meter length suitable for all setups?

The 1-meter length is ideal for standard desk setups and charging. For longer distances, you may need a cable with a greater length, though performance can degrade with longer USB4 cables.

How do I clean the metal USB-C connectors?

Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials to prevent damage.

What does 'USB4 Certified' mean?

It means the cable has been tested and certified by the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) to meet the stringent performance and safety standards for USB4 connectivity, including 40Gbps data transfer.

Troubleshooting

Cable not recognized by the device

Ensure the cable is fully plugged into both the device and the host port. Try a different USB-C port on your host device. Verify that the host device and the connected peripheral support the USB4 standard for full functionality.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the source and destination devices and their respective ports support 40Gbps speeds. Ensure the cable is not being used with a lower-spec USB port (e.g., USB 2.0). Check for any software updates for your host device's USB controllers.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Verify that your power adapter supports 240W Power Delivery (PD 3.1) or the required wattage. Ensure the connected device is capable of receiving a charge via USB-C PD. Try a different compatible charger.

No video output or low resolution

Confirm that your host device and display support 8K resolution at 60Hz via USB-C or Thunderbolt. Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Check the display settings on your host device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves 40Gbps data transfer for rapid file access.
  • Supports the latest 240W Power Delivery standard for fast charging.
  • Enables high-resolution 8K video output.
  • Durable metal connectors enhance longevity.
  • Offers broad backward compatibility with older USB standards.

Cons

  • Full 8K video capability requires compatible host and display hardware.
  • The 1m length may be too short for some extended workspace needs.
  • Maximum charging speed is dependent on the power adapter and device capabilities.
  • While backward compatible, speeds will be limited by the slowest connected device or port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB-C connector into the corresponding port on your device and the host (e.g., laptop, charger, monitor). Ensure a firm connection at both ends.

Compatibility: This cable is USB4 certified and backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4, USB 3.2 (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 2x2), and USB 2.0. However, to achieve maximum speeds (40Gbps data, 240W charging, 8K video), both the connected devices and the ports must support the relevant USB4 specifications. If using with older USB versions, performance will be limited to the capabilities of those standards.

Care: Keep the connectors clean by gently wiping them with a dry cloth if necessary. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, moisture, or sharp bends. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent internal damage to the wiring.
