Review on πŸ”Œ USB-IF Certified USB 4 Cable by CableCreation - 2.6FT, 40Gbps, 100W Charging - Thunderbolt 4/3 Compatible - 8K 30Hz or Dual 4K 60Hz Video Support - USB-C Docking Station, Hub, eGPU and More - 0.8M Length by Sam Lund

Revainrating 2 out of 5

does not drive 2x 4k monitors (as laptop on Thunderbolt 3 dock connector)

The title says it all. Bought assuming the 40Gbps cable was said to be capable of driving 2 4K monitors I could use it between my power supply and a CalDigit TB3 plus docking station. One monitor turns on, the other doesn't; This is the same behavior I get when using a 20Gb/s cable. Use the original CalDigit T3 cable between laptop and docking station and both 4K monitors come to life. It's slightly longer than the original cable and I wanted that length, but (ironically) it doesn't "fit" my needs despite being the perfect length. The cable has good build quality; Its diameter is slightly thicker than the CalDigit cable and it fits well in the ports I plugged it into. It probably works great as a USB C cable, but at least for me it's not worth the price.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Not sure
