USB 4.0 is commonly confused with Thunderbolt 3/4 and the reason is quite obvious. Both USB 4.0 Cables and Thunderbolt Cables operate on Type C connectors, making them very hard to identify without looking at the marking. Most of the time USB 4.0 Cables have the “40” number with arrow marking on the cables, while Thunderbolt 4 Cables have a lighting and a “4” on the cables. USB 4.0 Cables and Thunderbolt 4 Cables are interchangeable and functionally identical and for cable suppliers it is all about what clients want for their products when it comes to helping them to find a suitable cable type.

Compared with its previous versions, USB 4.0 is capable of transferring data with double the bandwidth capacity. Maximum 40Gb/s transmission speed with low latency because of its fiber optic cable material making USB 4.0 one of the most powerful connection cables. USB 4.0 also has DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0 and USB PowerDelivery (or “PD” in short) functions. Its power delivery can reach a maximum 100W. Furthermore, It could be utilized not only for regular consumer entertainment, but also some other more professional usage such as long distance transmission in places like meeting rooms, outdoor concerts and so on. In Cable manufacturing, USB 4.0 cable production cost is higher than its previous versions, but its functionality proves that it worths the price.

Some may argue that high speed products such as USB 4.0 and HDMI / DisplayPort AOC are not needed by common consumers because they are more expensive than other cables that are made with regular copper wire instead of fiber optic. It is true that users can achieve what they need with the current common cable products, but at the same time we can’t ignore the fact that electronic technology has been growing and growing at a relatively fast pace in recent years, meaning all the newer products have a higher demand on connection bandwidth and cabling material to be able to perform in full strength. Products like VR headsets require a strong and durable cable that is capable of transmitting multiple data at high speed, which USB 4.0 cable could do the job perfectly.

Cable manufacturers like SUNCA are able to produce USB 4.0 cable with ease and in mass. However, making it reliable and durable is another challenge. SUNCA has many years of experience on USB cable and active optical cable production. We are sure we can satisfy our clients’ needs while ensuring the quality of the products with our professional cable assemblies lines. We are ready to face the challenge ahead!
