Description

StarTech CC6FT40GUSB4GEN3 6ft Active USB4 Cable

Overview

The StarTech CC6FT40GUSB4GEN3 is a 6-foot (1.8-meter) active USB4 cable designed to deliver the full 40Gbps bandwidth, surpassing the length limitations of passive cables. This cable is essential for high-demand data transfers, docking stations, and high-resolution display connectivity where consistent, high-speed performance is critical. Its active circuitry ensures signal integrity over its extended length, making it suitable for professional workstation setups and demanding AV applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all USB4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 devices and hosts. It supports DisplayPort 2.1 Alternate Mode, enabling high-resolution video output to compatible monitors. Specific compatible systems include laptops, docking stations, external GPUs, and high-speed storage arrays that utilize USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 interfaces. It is designed to work with devices requiring the full 40Gbps data throughput for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

Ensure both the host device and the peripheral device support USB4 40Gbps speeds and DisplayPort 2.1 Alternate Mode for full functionality. The active nature of the cable means it requires a USB-C port that can supply sufficient power to the cable's internal chipset, though this is standard on most USB4 and Thunderbolt 3/4 ports. Avoid sharp bends or excessive strain on the connectors to maintain cable integrity.
