Plugable USB4 Cable with 240W Charging, 3.3 Feet (1M), USB-IF Certified, 1x 8K Display, 40 Gbps, Compatible with USB 4, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, Driverless

This is a high quality thunderbolt cable. This supplies high power and data between Thunderbolt devices. This can work great with a dock, or perhaps a monitor that is a Thunderbolt hub.

The 1m long Plugable USB-4 is what I would consider to be a true usb-c cable. It can delivery enormous power – not that I have a device that can make it to 240w as well as move data at high USB-4 40mb/s speed. It is perfect for driving video devices or accessing high data demand devices. The downside to the power and data is the cable is a little stuff (I haven’t dismantled it, but it will need good shielding.)

Definitely overkill if youre just looking to charge a cellphone. :-) Robust with plenty of bandwidth for using on a docking station or ultra-resolution display.

If youre buying this just as a charging cable then itll 100% do the job but its going to be one expensive cable compared with other brands. I would also question why you would.

The Good Parts

I did not have any connectivity issues using this cable with my NVMe SSD enclosure; I appreciate that the cable length is longer and my enclosure does not hang off the short OEM USB-C cable anymore. While backing up data, I can get a consistent 900-1000 Mbps transfer with this cable on a 10Gbps port.

This USB-C to USB-C cable is fairly well-crafted but not best in class. It has thick insulation that provides good protection but feels slightly rigid. Braided cables tend to offer better flexibility. Likewise the connectors are encased in durable hard plastic but aluminum casings would have felt more premium quality. While it works flawlessly as high-power and high-debit cable it is a bit pricey at around $35.

This is a full blooded TB 4 cable carrying power and data at levels that only a few years ago we would have marvelled at. I dont have equipment that can test this at the top of its spec, but can confirm it handles 140w and 2x4k (via a hub) with ease. If I do eventually justify and 8k monitor Im sure it will manage.

A great USB-C cable is infinitely useful, but standards are always changing. Devices are more and more advanced. Old USB-C cables arent capable of carrying enough data or power to take advantage of the advanced features of newer devices. I got tired of upgrading cables so I ordered this one in the hopes of future proofing myself a little more. Its overkill for what I use it for, primarily Super Fast Charging my Samsung S22 Ultra, but I know that its capable of charging an Alienware 15 and carrying an absurd amount of data. Its a little pricey, but totally worth it. Buy this.

This Plugable USB4 Cable with 240W Charging, 3.3 Feet (1M), USB-IF Certified, 1x 8K Display, 40 Gbps, Compatible with USB 4, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C is fast! Its a bit on the short side for my use, but I found out the hard way. It seems to be super fast though I cant actually test if its 40 Gbps. It does support the super fast charge on my phone and it really is super fast!
