USB-C Gen 2 cables, otherwise known as USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C, is quickly becoming the new industry standard. If you are not using them yet, you are surely missing out on a ton of convenience. With this new Cable Matters USB-C Gen 2 Active powered cable, you can connect your computer to deliver 4K video, 10Gbps data transfer, and power delivery to multiple devices.
Begone messy cable
For many gamers, having a clean and well-organized cable layout is important within the computer case, but what about outside of the case? When USB-C and Thunderbolt cables arrived, it took care of exterior cable management by daisy-chaining of multiple devices, without each device connecting back to the main computer.
While it was great on paper back then, the technology was not quite ready for distances greater than 0.5 to 1m in cable length. Previously, you would need to choose between either distance or fast transfer, moving devices closer just to maintain that fast data transfer, or being way too close to that big 4k display. Now you can have both!
