How to use

Insert each USB‑C connector into the matching USB‑C port on your devices until it seats firmly. The reversible connector orientation eliminates the need to align plugs. For maximum data throughput, connect devices that both support USB4 Gen 2x2 or compatible USB4/USB‑C protocols. Ensure attached devices are powered as required; the cable transmits data and may also carry power depending on device capabilities and port specifications.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for short‑range connections and avoid routing it near high‑power electrical cables or strong electromagnetic sources. Verify device compatibility with USB4 Gen 2x2 for full 20 Gbit/s speeds; otherwise, data rates will fall back to the highest mutually supported standard. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks and protect the connectors when not in use.
