Maxhood 8K USB‑C to USB‑C Cable 30cm, 240W 📱
Description:
This short USB‑C cable of 30cm brings high‑power charging and fast data transfer into compact form, ideal when space is limited or for handheld gaming devices. It offers a right‑angled connector to reduce strain on ports and keeps connections tidy when using consoles, laptops or phones while charging.
Key Points
The cable features a 90 degree Up and Down L shaped USB‑C plug that prevents excessive bending of the connector and helps protect device ports during intensive use. For gamers this means you can play on devices like Switch or Steam Deck while charging without the cable sticking straight out. ⚡
According to the manufacturer the cable conforms to USB4 and supports up to 240W power delivery while remaining backward compatible with lower power profiles such as 180W, 140W, 100W and 60W. It also supports high throughput transfers at 40Gbps, so moving large media files is much quicker than with older USB variants. 🎮
The design is compact at 30cm, which makes it convenient for desktop setups, travelling in a laptop bag and connecting docks where excess cable length would be cumbersome. Consider that the short length is advantageous for tidy desks but may not be suitable when you need distance between devices.
Technical Specifications
- Name: Maxhood 8K USB C to USB C Cable Short 30cm, 240W PD Type C to Type C Right Angle
- Length: 30 cm

The Best of This Model
Compatibility is broad and includes USB4, Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts, with backward support for USB 3.2, USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 devices. This means it can work with recent MacBook Pro and many Windows ultrabooks, external SSDs and docks. The 8K@60Hz capability allows use with high resolution displays when the host device supports USB4 video output. 🌐
A practical nuance is that peak charging and video capabilities depend on the connected devices and their power negotiation. Not every charger or device will supply the full 240W or enable 8K output, so real world performance follows the limits of each component. Also, the right angle plug is great for side ports and handheld consoles but you should check your device’s port orientation to ensure the L shape fits comfortably.
Usage Recommendations
Use the 30cm cable for tidy workstation connections, linking a laptop to a nearby dock, or for gaming handhelds where the short run avoids getting in the way. For high wattage laptops confirm the charger supports the required PD profile to approach 240W. For moving large video files connect devices directly to a compatible USB4 port to take full advantage of the 40Gbps transfer rate.
