USB Type-C 4 40Gbps/240W Cable 2m - PLT588
2m USB4 cable, 40Gbps, 240W PD 3.1 and DP1.4 video to 8K@60Hz, Thunderbolt 4 compatible with E-Mark chip — the 240W length for charging power-hungry laptops at distance.
Overview
The PLT588 is a 2 metre USB4 cable rated at 40Gbps, carrying DP1.4 video up to 8K@60Hz and Power Delivery up to 240W under PD 3.1, with an E-Mark chip and Thunderbolt 4 compatibility.
Two specifications set it apart from the shorter cable in this range. The first is 240W: PD 3.1 raised the ceiling well above the older 100W limit, and it is what allows a single cable to run high-drain machines — large mobile workstations, gaming laptops and docking setups — that a 100W cable cannot keep charged under load. The second is 2 metres, which is what makes a desk setup practical: reaching a docking station on the floor, a monitor at the back of a desk, or a sofa from a wall socket.
Sustaining 40Gbps and 240W over 2 metres is why the construction is specified the way it is — polypropylene-woven with an aluminium shell — and why the E-Mark chip is not optional. E-Mark is the identification chip that tells the connected devices what the cable can actually carry; without it a high-power negotiation cannot safely take place.
Where the requirement is a short, highly flexible cable rather than maximum power, the 0.8m PF587A in this range covers 40Gbps and 100W in a moulded TPE build.
Branding and packaging are customisable for OEM/ODM orders.
