StarTech 1.6 ft USB4 40 Gbps Cable

This StarTech cable is a USB4 certified connection that moves data at 40 Gbps over a 1.6 ft male-to-male link. The black jacket uses nickel construction and carries 24 pins at each USB Type-C end. It is built for direct device-to-device transfers where the short length keeps the signal clean.

For USB4 hosts that need full 40 Gbps throughput

Creators moving large video projects between two USB4 laptops or docking a high-speed SSD will get the rated bandwidth. Users whose ports top out at 20 Gbps or below cannot use the extra headroom, and anyone needing a longer reach for desk routing should look at a different length.

The 40 Gbps USB4 certification decides fit

Only hosts and peripherals that implement USB4 at 40 Gbps will unlock the cable’s maximum speed; slower USB-C ports will negotiate down to their own limit. Match the port specification to the cable rating before buying.

Questions about this item

Will the 40 Gbps rating deliver that speed between my laptop and an external SSD?

The cable supports up to 40 Gbps data transfer; actual throughput depends on the host controller and the storage device.

What does the USB-IF certification on this USB Type C cable guarantee?

USB-IF certification confirms the cable meets the official USB4 electrical and mechanical requirements for 40 Gbps operation.

What clearance is needed for the 24-pin USB Type C connectors on each end?

Each end uses a standard 24-pin USB Type C male plug; allow enough port depth for the connector body to seat fully.
