A company has officially launched USB cables that go faster than your PC, but there's a problem

Elecom, a leading Japanese company in the field of computer peripherals, has taken a giant leap in the field of connectivity, presenting the world premiere of the first USB 4 cables 2.0. This technological innovation will make data transfer and device power supply reach a higher level, with greater security and disproportionate speed.

USB 4 2.0 Official: Record Speed ​​and Super-Powerful Charging

Elecom's new USB 4 2.0 cables come in two variants, both capable of offering extraordinary performance. The first version, with a speed of data transfer reaching 80 Gbps, is double that currently supported by the USB 4 standard.

This means we will be able to move huge amounts of information in a fraction of the time, making waiting for large file transfers a thing of the past. Furthermore, with a 60W charging power, this cable is capable of powering most mobile devices, eliminating the need to carry multiple chargers.

But it is the second variant that really leaves you breathless. With a Charging power up to 240W, this cable is a candidate to become the ideal companion for power-hungry devices such as gaming laptops or the latest generation docking stations. Imagine being able to power your laptop and all its accessories with a single cable, without having to worry about bulky power supplies or tangled wires.

In addition to the outstanding data transfer and charging capabilities, Elecom USB 4 2.0 cables also support video transmission via DisplayPort, with resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz. This opens the door to the highest quality multi-monitor setups, ideal for graphics professionals, video editors or anyone who wants an uncompromising viewing experience.

There is a but…

However, there is one obstacle standing between us and this future of limitless connectivity: the current motherboards are not ready yet to fully support the potential of these cables. To take full advantage of the capabilities of USB 4 2.0, in fact, it is necessary to implement the PCI Express 5.0 x4 interface, which is still absent on the market.

In the meantime, USB 4 2.0 cables are still backwards compatible with previous standards, meaning they can be used right out of the box, albeit with performance reduced from their full potential. And it looks like that too Microsoft is already projected towards the future, with the latest test builds of Windows 11 already supporting the new specifications at the software level.
