USB Type-C 4 40Gbps Certified Cable 0.8m - PF587A
0.8m certified USB4 cable, 40Gbps, 100W PD and DP1.4 video to 8K@60Hz, Thunderbolt 3 compatible with E-Mark chip — the short, flexible TPE build for desk and dock use.
Overview
The PF587A is a 0.8 metre certified USB4 cable rated at 40Gbps, carrying DP1.4 video up to 8K@60Hz and Power Delivery up to 100W, with an E-Mark chip and Thunderbolt 3 compatibility.
The short length is a deliberate specification rather than a limitation. Sustaining 40Gbps is fundamentally easier over a short run, which is why passive cables at the top of the USB4 bandwidth range are short — and for the work this cable actually does, short is right: laptop to a docking station on the same desk, to a high-resolution monitor, to an external SSD or eGPU enclosure sitting alongside. A longer cable in those positions is slack to be managed rather than reach that is needed.
The TPE jacket and moulded housing keep it flexible and low-profile, so it coils tightly behind a monitor and does not lever on the port — appropriate for a cable that is permanently connected on a desk.
Where the requirement is charging a high-drain laptop or reaching further, the 2 metre PLT588 in this range carries 240W under PD 3.1 in a braided build.
The E-Mark chip identifies the cable's capability to the connected devices, which is what allows full-bandwidth and full-power negotiation to take place at all.
Branding and packaging are customisable for OEM/ODM orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the PF587A cable certified and what does the E-Mark chip do?
- Yes, the PF587A carries USB4 certification with an E-Mark chip that identifies the cable's capability to connected devices, enabling full-bandwidth and full-power negotiation. This ensures reliable 40Gbps data transfer and 100W power delivery.
- What video and power specifications does this cable support?
- The PF587A supports DisplayPort 1.4 video output up to 8K@60Hz and USB Power Delivery up to 100W. It is also Thunderbolt 3 compatible for extended device compatibility.
- Why is the cable only 0.8 metres long?
- The 0.8m length is intentional for optimal performance at 40Gbps bandwidth; passive cables at this speed range are inherently shorter. This length suits typical desk setups like laptop-to-docking-station, monitor, or external SSD connections.
- Can branding and packaging be customized for our orders?
- Yes, branding and packaging are customizable for OEM/ODM orders. Contact us for details on customization options and order specifications.
- What materials are used in the PF587A construction?
- The cable features a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) jacket with a molded connector housing, making it flexible, durable, and low-profile for permanent desktop installations.
