FAQs

What is the maximum speed of this cable?

This cable supports up to 40Gbps bandwidth, which is the maximum speed for USB 4 and Thunderbolt 3.

Do I need USB 4 ports on both devices to get 40Gbps?

Yes, for optimal 40Gbps performance, both the host device and the peripheral device should have USB 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Can this cable power my laptop?

Yes, it supports up to 100W of Power Delivery (PD 3.0), which is sufficient to charge most USB-C powered laptops, provided the laptop and power source support this wattage.

Will this cable work with my older USB-C devices?

Can I connect two 4K monitors with this cable?

Yes, USB 4 and Thunderbolt 3 technology allow for the connection of multiple 4K displays, provided your host device has the necessary graphics processing capabilities and ports.

What does 'bi-directional power flow' mean?

It means the cable can deliver power from either connected device to the other, allowing for flexible charging scenarios.

Is this cable certified?

Yes, this is a CERTIFIED USB 4 / Thunderbolt 3 cable, ensuring it meets the required performance and safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or connecting intermittently

Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both ports. Try connecting to a different USB 4/Thunderbolt 3 port on your devices. Test with different compatible devices to isolate the issue. Check if device drivers are up-to-date.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both connected devices have USB 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports. Ensure the cable is a certified USB 4/Thunderbolt 3 cable. Close unnecessary background applications that might be consuming bandwidth. Check device manager for any USB controller issues.

No video output or display issues

Confirm that your host device's Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Ensure the monitor is compatible and set to the correct input. Try a shorter or different certified cable. Restart the connected devices.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Check that both the cable and the connected device support 100W Power Delivery. Ensure the power adapter is sufficient. Try a different USB 4/Thunderbolt 3 port. Verify charging status on the device itself.
