Product Features
Technical Overview
This USB4 cable implements the complete USB4 specification with support for DisplayPort 1.4 Alternate Mode including Display Stream Compression (DSC) and HDR. The 40 Gbps bandwidth enables simultaneous high-speed data transfer, video streaming, and power delivery over a single connection. The cable supports PCIe 3.0 at 32 Gbps for external storage and expansion chassis applications.
The coaxial construction with Mylar shielding provides enhanced EMI protection, while nickel-plated connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. Strain reliefs at both connector ends increase durability during frequent connection cycles. The Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) jacket is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and halogen-free.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
