Every USB-C cable looks the same. They don't all run the same.

The plug fits, so the cable seems fine. Then setup day comes, and the drive copy crawls, the second monitor stays dark, or the laptop charges slower than it drains.

The connector is the same on every USB-C cable. What's inside isn't. A Hosa Performance cable is built to the standard on its label, so your interface, drive, and display get the bandwidth and power they were designed for.

  • Data speedMany USB-C cables are built for charging and carry data at USB 2.0 speed. Performance cables run 40Gbps or 80Gbps.
  • VideoNot every cable carries a display signal. Performance cables drive external displays, up to multi-8K on Thunderbolt 5.
  • PowerEvery Performance USB-C cable carries up to 240W, enough to charge a laptop on the same cable that runs your gear.

IntelCERTIFIED

Certified, not just compatible

Our Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 cables are certified through Intel's Thunderbolt certification program. Certification means the cable meets the Thunderbolt requirements for data speed, video, and power, so you know what it will do before you plug it in.

Thunderbolt 4 is certified for a guaranteed 40Gbps. Thunderbolt 5 runs a full 80Gbps, with Bandwidth Boost up to 120Gbps when a display needs it.
