ACCELL USB4 40Gbps Cable REVIEW | MacSources

A high-speed cable that can be used with many devices.

While many people think that USB-C is a relatively new method of connectivity the truth is that it’s been available as a connector since 2014. For the past six years, it’s been slowly phased in as the data and charging connector of choice for smartphone designers, computer manufacturers, and accessory makers. USB-C was actually developed alongside the USB 3.1 specification and until last year, it was only capable of operating at speeds of 10 and 20 GB/s. In 2019, however, USB4 was released as the first USB transfer protocol that is available through USB-C. Now, a USB-C cable enabled with USB4 can transfer at speeds up to 40 GB/s. ACCELL Corporation released a brand new USB4 capable cable that is an all-in-one connector for data, video, and power.
