Frequently Asked Questions
Does this USB 4 cable include an E-Marker chip?
Yes, to safely support 100W (5A) Power Delivery and 40Gbps data speeds, an advanced E-Marker smart chip is integrated into the connector to negotiate power and data protocols intelligently.
Is this cable backward compatible with older Type-C devices?
Absolutely. It is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2, USB 3.1, and USB 2.0 standards, dynamically adjusting speeds to match the connected device.
What is the maximum length available for the 40Gbps speed?
For passive USB 4 cables to maintain the full 40Gbps bandwidth, the standard maximum length is typically 0.8 to 1.0 meters. For longer requirements, please consult our engineering team for active cable solutions.
Can you manufacture these cables with our company logo and custom packaging?
Yes. We specialize in B2B OEM/ODM services. We can laser engrave your logo on the connector shell, provide specific cable lengths, and design retail or industrial-ready packaging.
