Possibly, the cable will be retooled or relabeled for USB4 at 80 Gbps. At the moment, the gold standard for the greatest compatibility and least fuss remains the Thunderbolt 4/USB4 cable, which is ...

Doing some quick napkin math, today there are about 60 different combinations of USB-C cable when you think about speed, Thunderbolt versus USB, active versus passive, and charging capability.

It will support up to 80Gb/s operation with both 40Gb/s USB-C passive cables and newly defined 80Gb/s active cables.

Connecting a subwoofer to your receiver is an essential step in getting deep bass for your home theater or audio setup. But ...

SCN: Is there an optimum length for most cable types? MP: This varies by cable type, resolution/bandwidth, and the quality of the cable. As mentioned, a passive HDMI cable can typically reach 25 feet.

As a result, the DisplayPort 2.1b update will provide for up to 3X the cable length for UHBR20 GPU-to-display connections compared to existing VESA certified DP80 passive cables.

There’s a new, super-fast, version of USB 4 on the horizon and you won’t even have to buy a brand new cable to take advantage of it.

Lumafield CT scanned the O.MG USB-C cable and discovered hidden advanced electronics with a sinister purpose.

Unlike passive cables, they actively boost signals, allowing for longer distances (up to 7 meters for 400G), higher bandwidth, and thinner, lighter cables.

This specification is a significant step forward as it allows passive cables, which traditionally do not require active electronics to boost the signal, to reach lengths of up to two meters.
