USB4 cables offer significantly higher bandwidth and capabilities beyond basic charging and data transfer, supporting multiple high-performance peripherals like external monitors and SSDs simultaneously. While these cables can range from $20 to $60, their premium price is justified by their ability to handle up to 80 Gbps symmetric or 120/40 Gbps asymmetric speeds with the USB4 Version 2 specification. It is important to match the cable's capabilities to the device's support, as a USB-C connector alone does not guarantee high performance, with some devices like the iPhone 15 Pro Max shipping with cables limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
