Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is an FPC flat cable and why is it better for short connections?
FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) uses an ultra-thin, flat ribbon structure rather than round bundled wires. This allows the cable to bend and twist tightly without permanent bending creases, internal wire breakage, or bulky tangles—making it ideal for portable SSDs and battery packs.

Q2. Is this cable backward compatible with standard USB-C chargers and phones?
Yes. While it supports the latest Thunderbolt 5 and USB4 standards, it is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3, USB 3.2, 3.1, and standard USB 2.0 devices and PD chargers.

Q3. Can this cable handle video output to an external monitor?
Yes. It supports full DisplayPort Alt Mode video output up to 8K@60Hz or 16K resolution when connected to a compatible video-enabled host and monitor.
