Allion is a third-party certification testing organization accredited by USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF). The USB cable meets the demand for high-speed transmission with the increasing multifunctionality of PCs and peripheral devices, achieving bidirectional communication at speeds of up to 80 Gbps (up to 120 Gbps in -Asymmetric communication), the fastest for a USB cable. It allows data communication at the maximum speed of the connected device as well as simultaneous quick charging. Moreover, the product is equipped with the function to automatically determine the appropriate power supply direction from the connected device. The cable allows it to charge quickly with a maximum power delivery capability of 5 A/240 W. While the conventional USB 40 Gbps cable was limited to connecting up to two 60 Hz 4K displays, this product can simultaneously connect two 60Hz 8K displays or three 144Hz 4K displays. The cable has backward compatibility with other USB protocol. Also, this cable has compatibility with Thunderbolt™ protocol, so this cable can make cable solution fast and easy.
