- Note:
- Use quality verified USB charger/adapter, PC, and monitor to optimize PD60W performance and avoid overheating.
- Note:
- This model has a direction. Please check Source-side and Monitor-side before connecting.
- Note:
- NOT all USB-C cables or devices support DP Alt Mode. Both the cable and the device must support DP Alt Mode for the feature to work. Always check the specifications of your devices and cables to ensure compatibility.
- Note:
- (*1)Recommend using a charger that supports PD 100W or higher.
- Note:
- (*2)It supports transmission of 4K60p, 4K120p, and 8K30p. 4K120p and 8K30p require a chroma subsampling of YCbCr 4:2:0 or lower and a color depth of 8-bit or less. 32.4Gbps" is the theoretical bandwidth based on the standard. The actual bandwidth is up to 25.92Gbps.

Simplify naming of USB Type -C cables
USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) concerns that inconsistent use of terminology creates confusion in the market, can be misleading to users. To fix this issue, USB-IF has developed the below recommendations on how to enter marketing names during product certification registration.
USB-IF Marketing Name | Data Rate | Mode Name | Multiple Lanes | Lane Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hi-Speed USB | 480 Mbps | USB 2.0 | Single | 480 Mbps |
USB 5Gbps | 5 Gbps | USB 3.2 Gen1 | Single | 5 Gbps |
N/A | 10 Gbps | USB 3.2 Gen1 × 2 | Dual | 5 Gbps |
USB 10Gbps | 10 Gbps | USB 3.2 Gen2 | Single | 10 Gbps |
N/A | 10 Gbps | USB4 Gen2x1 | Single | 10 Gbps |
N/A | 20 Gbps | USB 3.2 Gen2 × 2 | Dual | 20 Gbps |
USB 20Gbps | 20 Gbps | USB 3.2 Gen2 × 2 | Dual | 10 Gbps |
N/A | 20 Gbps | USB 4 Gen3 × 1 | Single | 20 Gbps |
USB 40Gbps | 40 Gbps | USB 4 Version1 | Dual | 20 Gbps |
USB 80Gbps | 80 Gbps | USB 4 Version2 | Symmetric | 40 Gbps |
USB Power Delivery
USB PD (Power Delivery) is an enhanced aspect of the USB Type -C standard, enabling higher power levels for faster charging and efficient power delivery between devices. This table illustrates common power levels supported by the USB PD specification along with their corresponding PD specification names.
Power Delivery | Voltage | Current | Connector |
---|---|---|---|
PD15W | 5V | 3A | USB Type-C |
PD45W | 15V | 3A | |
PD60W | 20V | 3A | |
PD75W | 15V | 5A | |
PD100W | 20V | 5A | |
PD240W | 48V | 5A |
DisplayPort over USB Type -C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode)
“DP Alt Mode” or “DP Alt” is a standard for communicating protocols such as DisplayPort and HDMI over USB Type-C interface. DP Alt Mode allows devices with USB Typ-C ports to transfer DisplayPort signals, enabling them to connect directly to external displays. This specification enhances device portability and supports multiple functions through a single connector. It combines USB Type -C flexibility with DisplayPort performance for convenient connectivity.
As shown in the below pin -out, Canare USB Type -C cable, UCC series is engineered with DP1.4 8.1Gbps “4 lanes” technology for the maximum compatibilities.
