USB4 Gen3x2 C–C Cable EQUIP 128380, 0.5 m, PD 3.1 240W, 40 Gbps, 8K/60Hz, Black

The USB4 Gen3x2 C–C Cable EQUIP 128380 (0.5 m) is designed for high-performance connections that combine ultra-fast data transfer, advanced video output and powerful charging through a single USB-C-to-C lead. Built on USB4 technology and compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4 devices, the cable supports up to 40 Gbps data rates, DisplayPort Alt Mode video up to 8K at 60 Hz and Power Delivery 3.1 for high-wattage charging. Its braided cotton mesh, double shielding and aluminum connector housings provide stable signal integrity and mechanical durability for daily professional use.

Advantages

The cable delivers a combination of 40 Gbps USB4 data throughput, DisplayPort 1.4a video support and PD 3.1 power delivery up to 240 W (48 V/5 A) in a compact 0.5 m length. Integrated E-marker chipset ensures correct power negotiation and device compatibility, while the robust construction — braided outer layer, double shielding and aluminum connectors — improves electromagnetic protection and extends service life.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops, tablets or smartphones to external SSDs and high-bandwidth storage devices
• Driving high-resolution monitors and TVs with up to 8K@60 Hz via DP Alt Mode
• Fast charging power-hungry laptops and professional devices using USB Power Delivery 3.1 up to 240 W
• Docking station connections and Thunderbolt 3/4 compatible peripherals
• Short-reach desktop setups where a 0.5 m cable is preferred

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one USB-C end to a compatible host device (laptop, tablet or smartphone) and the other end to the target device (monitor, dock, external SSD or power adapter). When both devices support PD 3.1, power negotiation occurs automatically and the cable will deliver up to 240 W where supported. For video output, enable DP Alt Mode on the host if required and set display resolution/refresh rate in the operating system or monitor settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure both devices support USB4 or the required alternate modes (DP Alt Mode) to use 40 Gbps data or 8K video
• Check that the host and peripheral support PD 3.1 and the required voltage/current for high-wattage charging
• Consider cable length (0.5 m) to confirm it suits your workspace layout

Recommendations

Use the cable for close-range connections between a laptop and a dock/monitor or for charging laptops that explicitly list USB PD 3.1 240 W compatibility; avoid running it near strong sources of electromagnetic interference and inspect connectors for debris before use.
