The first USB4 2.0 cable will be on the market in 2024

The Japanese Elecom repairman has connected the first cable, which will disable the USB4 2.0 standard in September. They offer 80 Gbit/s in both directions and performance via DisplayPort Passthrough video signal in 8K/60Hz quality. Zum Vergleich: USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 now achieve 40 Gbit/s and maximum 4K/60Hz in video transmission.

Another scientific approach to Power Delivery Mode, which now operates at 240 Watts of power, will have enormous capacity for gaming laptops or other powerful workstations. No USB4 2.0 cables from Elecom were used, so the Strom has become sweeter. Der Hersteller has jewelry made from a cable with a power of 60 and 240 Watts.

Elecom’s USB4 2.0 cable will be available on the market in December 2024 – soonest in Japan. If you are in European trading, it is not possible.

There are no suitable mainboards available

At a time when there are no motherboards on the market yet, the original installation of USB4 is possible in version 2.0. If we start using the new USB standards, it will be so long that a USB4 2.0 controller can no longer be used, because the erwering card on the PC needs to be adjusted.

Thunderbolt 5 does not provide access to 8K streaming

Intel’s Thunderbolt 5 Standard, from a device with the Razer Blade 18 Gaming Laptop (Amazon for a price of 5,200 euros) or the SD5000T5 EQ Docking Station from Kensington, is available with a speed of 80 Gbit/s. An asymmetrical band expansion allows video-intensive videos to operate at a speed of 120 Gbit/s – optimal for 8K streaming.
