USB Cables FAQ

What cable for fast charging?

Look for the wattage rating (100W and up for laptops) and E-marker chip. A cable rated 60W will cap a 100W charger.

Do all USB-C cables carry video?

No. Video needs DisplayPort alt mode support, and 4K60 needs a certified 10Gbps-plus cable.

How long can a cable be?

Passive USB-C is reliable to about 2 m; beyond that you need active cables, especially for 40Gbps.

What does Thunderbolt 4 mean?

40Gbps, video, and power in one certified cable. It costs more and works across USB-C, Thunderbolt and most docks.

Why does my cable stop working?

Strain at the connector. Braided jackets and reinforced necks last far longer than moulded ends.

Do I need USB 3.2 or 2.0?

For charging only, 2.0 is fine. For drives and displays, match the specification of the device and cable.
