USB 40Gbps Type-C cable Akasa AK-CBUB67-10BK, 1 m, high-speed data transfer

Akasa AK-CBUB67-10BK is a 1 m USB Type-C cable engineered for high-speed data transfer up to 40 Gbps. It is intended for direct connections between compatible hosts and peripherals that require Thunderbolt-class or USB4 bandwidth, providing a single-cable solution for fast file transfers, external storage, docks, hubs and high-resolution displays. The cable features USB Type-C connectors on both ends and is designed to preserve signal integrity over a short, practical length for desktop and mobile workflows.

Advantages

The cable supports transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, enabling rapid movement of large files and efficient backups. Its 1 meter length balances reach and minimal signal degradation for desktop and laptop setups. Constructed to meet the electrical and physical requirements for high-bandwidth USB Type-C connections, it provides reliable transmission between compatible devices. The reversible Type-C connectors simplify connection orientation and speed up setup time.

Suitable for

• Connecting external NVMe or SSD enclosures to a compatible host for fast file transfer
• Linking docking stations and USB-C hubs to laptops or desktops that support USB4/Thunderbolt-class bandwidth
• Driving high-resolution monitors or displays over USB-C alternate modes where supported
• Professional workflows requiring large media file movement, editing, or backup operations

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 40 Gbps
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported standards: USB4/Thunderbolt-class bandwidth compatibility with appropriate devices
• Suitable for high-bandwidth peripherals such as external SSDs, docks, hubs and compatible displays

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the USB-C port on the host device and the other end to the USB-C port on the peripheral, ensuring both devices support the required high-speed protocols for full bandwidth. The reversible connectors allow insertion in either orientation. For best results, use the cable with devices that explicitly state support for 40 Gbps or USB4/Thunderbolt-class data rates. Confirm that device firmware and drivers are up to date if handshaking or link negotiation is required.

Recommendations

Use the cable in short-run setups (desk or close-proximity connections) to maintain signal integrity at maximum throughput. Avoid tight bends and extreme pulling on the cable; store it coiled without sharp kinks. When connecting to devices with different power or alternate mode capabilities, check device specifications to ensure compatibility with display or power delivery features.
