AudioQuest - Carbon USB-C > C 2.5' Digital High-Definition Audio Cable with USB-C to USB-C Connectors - Gray on Black

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog wave form that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear. AudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve great recognition worldwide. With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AQ’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, Chromebook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc. In addition, ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.

The cable supports Power Delivery and data transfer between smartphones, tablets, and computers. It has a fast maximum data transmission rate of 40 Gbps and a power delivery charging capacity of 100W. When connected to a device that enables video output, such as Thunderbolt 4 docking station, the cable can also support up to one 8K monitor and two 4K dual displays. With a double-braided polyester cover, the exterior is abrasion-resistant, which reduces fraying and prolongs the lifespan of the cable.
