CAKOBLE 1m USB Type‑C 20 Gbps cable, 240W

This USB-C cable from CAKOBLE combines high-speed data, power delivery and video output in a single 1 m lead for users who need a versatile connection between laptops, phones and monitors. It supports up to 20 Gbps data transfer and PD3.1 charging at up to 240 W, making it useful for fast file moves and powering more demanding devices while also carrying 4K/5K video for external displays.

Key Points

The cable is built to handle simultaneous functions: high-rate data transfers, power delivery up to 48 V/5 A and video output up to 5K@60 Hz. According to the manufacturer the USB 3.2 Gen2x2 specification is supported and the product includes an E-Mark chip for negotiated power and protection during use. The exterior combines nickel-plated connectors, an aluminium shell and a braided nylon jacket to improve durability and reduce tangling. Note that video transmission requires a device with a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort alt mode.

Technical Specifications

• Name: CAKOBLE 20 Gbps USB Type C 3.2 Gen2x2 Cable
• Length: 1 m
• Data transfer: 20 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen2x2), certified by USB-IF according to the manufacturer.
• Power delivery: 240 W (48 V/5 A) via PD3.1, compatible with lower PD profiles.
• Video support: Up to 5K@60 Hz and 4K@60 Hz, 2K@165 Hz (requires DP alt mode on host).

Benefits

Fast file handling is a clear advantage when working with large media libraries or backups, as the 20 Gbps throughput halves typical USB 3.1 speeds. For those who need to power high-performance laptops or charge quickly between meetings the 240 W PD3.1 support allows use with higher-wattage chargers and is backward compatible with common lower power levels. The braided jacket and reinforced connectors contribute to longevity during everyday use and travel.

Usage Recommendations

Use this cable to connect modern laptops such as recent MacBook and Windows ultrabooks to external USB-C monitors for higher-resolution output, or to link portable SSDs and high-bandwidth peripherals for fast transfers. When relying on the video function ensure the host device explicitly supports DisplayPort alt mode. Consider pairing the cable with a charger or power supply that also supports PD3.1 to achieve the maximum 240 W output, as not all chargers will provide the full 48 V/5 A profile. Some mobile devices may not accept the highest charging profiles even if the cable supports them, according to manufacturer compatibility lists.

Note: compatibility with specific phone and laptop models varies. The cable lists broad support for devices such as the iPad Pro and Air, Samsung Galaxy S24 series and iPhone 15 Pro/Max when used with appropriate adapters or native USB-C ports, but video and top-end charging depend on device capabilities.
