EQUIP USB4 Gen 2x2 C–C Cable 3.0m, PD 100W, 4K/60Hz, 20Gbps, Black

The EQUIP USB4 Gen 2x2 C–C Cable 3.0m is a USB-C cable designed for high-speed data transfer, high-power charging and display output for modern USB‑C devices. Built on USB4 Gen 2x2 architecture, the cable supports data transfer up to 20 Gbps, Power Delivery for laptop charging, and video output up to 4K at 60 Hz via DP Alt Mode. It is compatible with USB 3.2, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3 devices and supports DisplayPort 1.4a, HDR10 and HDCP.

Advantages

The cable combines a 3.0 m length with USB4 Gen 2x2 performance to enable fast file transfers to external SSDs and high‑bandwidth peripherals while providing a single-cable solution for charging and video. An integrated E-marker chipset and USB Power Delivery support ensure negotiated and stable power delivery for compatible laptops, docking stations and other power‑hungry devices. Broad protocol compatibility makes the cable suitable for mixed setups without sacrificing performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting external SSDs and high-bandwidth peripherals
• Charging laptops and docking stations that support USB Power Delivery
• Connecting monitors or displays using DP Alt Mode at up to 4K@60Hz
• Use with devices compatible with USB4, USB 3.2, USB 2.0 or Thunderbolt 3

When it may not be suitable

The cable requires devices that support the corresponding USB4/PD/DP Alt Mode features to reach maximum data, power and video capabilities. With older devices that do not support these protocols the cable will operate at the lower speeds and power levels those devices allow.

How to use

Connect one USB-C connector to the host device (laptop, docking station or compatible source) and the other to the target device (external SSD, monitor or charger). Ensure both devices support the required features (USB4/PD/DP Alt Mode) for full data, charging and video performance. The cable negotiates power delivery automatically via the E-marker chipset; use a compatible power adapter for higher wattage charging.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices support USB4, USB Power Delivery and DP Alt Mode to utilise full capabilities (20 Gbps, 4K@60Hz, up to 100W)
• Check that a compatible power adapter is used for laptop charging at higher wattages
• Consider the 3.0 m length for cable routing and workspace layout

Recommendations

For best results, use the EQUIP USB4 Gen 2x2 C–C Cable with devices and power adapters that explicitly support USB4/USB PD and DP Alt Mode to achieve the advertised 20 Gbps transfer rates, 4K@60Hz video and up to 100W charging. Store and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain performance and longevity.
