USB4 Gen 4x2 C‑to‑C Cable EQUIP 1.2m, 80Gbps, PD240W, 8K@60Hz, Black

The EQUIP USB4 Gen 4x2 C-to-C cable (1.2 m) provides a single-cable solution for high-speed data, high-resolution video and high-power charging. Based on USB4 technology, the cable supports up to 80 Gbps data transfer and is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 devices. It carries video via DisplayPort 1.4a/DP Alt Mode up to 8K at 60 Hz and supports HDR10 and HDCP standards. With an integrated E-marker chipset and USB Power Delivery 3.1, the cable can deliver up to 240 W (48 V / 5 A). The black braided jacket, double shielding and aluminium housing are designed for stable signal transmission and long-term durability.

Advantages

The cable combines very high data bandwidth, 8K display support and up to 240 W power delivery in one reversible USB-C to USB-C connection, reducing cable clutter and simplifying connections between laptops, external SSDs, docks and monitors. Its E-marker chipset and USB4 Gen 4x2 specification ensure compatibility with USB4 and Thunderbolt devices while the premium jacket and shielding enhance durability and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting high-performance laptops to external displays supporting 8K@60Hz
• Fast data transfer to and from external SSDs and storage arrays
• Powering and charging power-hungry laptops and workstations up to 240 W
• Connecting docking stations and Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals

When it may not be suitable

This cable requires USB4, Thunderbolt 3/4 or DisplayPort Alt Mode support on connected devices to achieve maximum data speeds, video resolutions and power delivery. When used with older USB-A ports or devices that do not implement the required Alt Mode or PD revisions, performance will fall back to the capabilities of those devices.

How to use

Connect the USB-C ends to compatible devices such as a laptop and an external monitor, dock or SSD. Ensure both endpoints support the required standards (USB4/Thunderbolt and DP Alt Mode or PD 3.1) to achieve maximum throughput, video resolution and power delivery. The reversible USB-C connectors allow plug-in without orientation concerns; the cable is ready for immediate use once connected.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices support USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 and DP Alt Mode for 8K video and 80 Gbps data rates
• Check that your laptop or power source supports USB PD 3.1 and can accept or supply up to 240 W if you require full-power charging
• Consider cable length (1.2 m) and whether it fits your workspace layout

Recommendations

For best results, pair the cable with USB4- or Thunderbolt-certified devices and a PD 3.1-capable power adapter. Avoid excessive bending near connectors and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to maintain stable high-speed performance.
