The cable supports DisplayPort 1.2 Alternate Mode. This allows video output up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz directly over the USB-C connection. It is suitable for connecting a laptop to a monitor without a separate video cable. However, verify your host device supports DP Alt Mode over its USB-C port.

Deliver 100W Power to Laptops

With USB Power Delivery 3.0 support, this cable handles up to 100W output. It can charge compatible laptops, including Apple MacBook and Microsoft Surface models. The 5 A output current ensures stable power transmission. Connect it from a USB-C wall charger or docking station to your device.

Withstand Heavy Use with Rugged Construction

The cable features an Aramid fibre core and a TPE outer jacket. This heavy-duty build resists fraying, tangling, and breakage. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C. The 4.8 mm diameter and 8 mm bend radius offer durability for daily transport and use.
