Features

Long-Distance USB-C Cable Supports High-Res Video, PD Charging and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Speeds
This full-function USB-C cable (M/M) is a flexible alternative to more expensive fiber optic cabling. Fiber cables are typically limited to either data or video, but not both. The U420-05M-G2 supports not only data and 8K/4K video, but also Power Delivery (PD) charging for the host device.

Transmits 4K and 8K Video with HDR and 4:4:4 Color
The U420-05M-G2 supports Ultra HD 8K resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz and 4K resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 144 Hz. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), providing a wide range of vibrant colors with richer contrast, brighter whites and deeper blacks that pop on your 8K display. HDCP 2.2 encryption allows you to stream 8K content with no loss in resolution. This cable also supports uncompressed 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or for using your HDTV as a PC monitor.

Transfers Data and Charges Devices at Lightning-Fast Speeds
The full-function U420-05M-G2 connects your smartphone, tablet, MacBook Pro, Windows laptop or other USB-C device to the USB-C port on a computer, docking station or wall charger. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, which is twice as fast as USB 3.2 Gen 1. It also provides power output up to 20V 3A (60W), which is sufficient for charging and powering most host devices. The plug-and-play cable is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 devices, as well as USB-C.

System Requirements

  • Host device with USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatibility required to achieve USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds)
  • Host device must support DisplayPort Alt Mode 1.4
  • Display must support video resolutions up to 8K @ 60 Hz or 4K @ 144 Hz
  • Host device and charger must support PD charging up to 20V 3A (60W)
