FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This Kenable USB4 cable supports SuperSpeed data transfer up to 20Gbps.

Can this cable charge my laptop?

Yes, it supports up to 60W Power Delivery (PD), which is sufficient for charging many compatible laptops and other devices.

What is the maximum video resolution and refresh rate supported?

The cable supports video signal transfer up to 4K at 60Hz or 2K at 165Hz, provided the connected devices support these specifications and DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

Does this cable work with Thunderbolt 3 devices?

Yes, this USB4 cable is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices, offering similar data transfer and display capabilities.

What does the 'E-Marker chip' do?

The built-in E-Marker chip is an electronic marker that communicates the cable's capabilities (like power handling and data speed) to the connected devices, ensuring optimized and safe power and data delivery.

What is the length of the cable?

This specific model is 3 meters long.

Is this cable suitable for gaming?

Yes, with support for 2K resolution at a 165Hz refresh rate, it can be suitable for gaming on compatible monitors and systems requiring high refresh rates.

Troubleshooting

No data transfer or slow speeds

Ensure the cable is fully plugged into both devices. Verify both devices and ports support USB4 or the intended speed (e.g., 20Gbps). Try a different USB-C port on your devices or test with another compatible cable to rule out port issues.

Device not charging or charging slowly

Confirm that the connected power adapter and the device both support USB Power Delivery (PD). Ensure the cable is rated for 60W charging. Check that the cable is fully inserted into both the device and the power adapter.

External monitor not displaying video or displaying at lower resolution/refresh rate

Verify that your host device (e.g., laptop) supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C. Ensure the monitor and cable are capable of the desired resolution (4K@60Hz or 2K@165Hz). Try a shorter, certified USB-C cable if available to test if the length is a factor. Check monitor input settings.

Cable feels loose in the port

Inspect the USB-C ports on both the cable and the device for any debris or damage. Ensure you are using the correct USB-C connector type. If damage is suspected, discontinue use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High data transfer speeds for quick file access.
  • Supports up to 60W charging for faster power-ups.
  • Capable of high-resolution 4K video output at 60Hz.
  • Durable construction with a braided jacket.
  • E-Marker chip ensures efficient and safe power/data delivery.

Cons

  • Requires host device support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output.
  • 3-meter length may be too long for some desk setups.
  • Color is black, which might not match all aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB4 cable into the corresponding USB-C ports on your devices. Ensure both ends are securely seated for optimal performance. For video output, confirm your host device supports DisplayPort Alternate (ALT) Mode over USB-C.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with USB4, Thunderbolt 3, and USB 3.2/3.1/3.0 devices. It supports a wide range of modern laptops, tablets, smartphones, and external peripherals, provided they feature USB-C ports supporting the necessary protocols (e.g., PD for charging, ALT mode for video).

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Avoid sharp bends or kinks.
  2. Keep connectors clean by gently wiping with a dry cloth.
  3. Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
  4. Do not pull the cable by the cord; grip the connector when unplugging.
