Endpoint map
Start with what is physically represented
Manufacturer-documented bidirectional USB data. That does not reverse source/sink power roles or guarantee a video source at either connected device.
Beyond the connector shape
Four evidence boundaries
StarTech UCC-3M-10G-USB-CABLE, 3 m
- Electronic marker documented
- Manufacturer states an electronic-marker chip
The source separately describes the active retimer and a certified e-marker chip. This does not independently certify the assembly.
C342D
- Fallback / protocol scope not established
- Not established
USB2 fallback and USB4/Thunderbolt link modes are not established by the inspected selected protocol list. This is not a statement of incompatibility.
C342E
- Whole-cable certification check not established
- Not established
No exact whole-cable certification registry match or authentic-sample inspection was performed.
- Bandwidth and task scope documented
- Up to 10Gbps USB; conditional display modes
A Thunderbolt-compatible title does not turn the documented USB mode into a Thunderbolt link. DSC remains attached to the high-resolution examples.

C342ASource checked · pending review
StarTech’s UCC-3M-10G-USB-CABLE datasheet describes a 3 m active retimer cable with bidirectional USB data up to 10Gbps and no additional power supply or signal booster required for that connection.
Scope: Exact product; no universal passive-length cutoff, USB4 mode or measured application throughput is inferred. · review due 2027-01-06

C342BSource checked · pending review
The UCC-3M-10G-USB-CABLE datasheet’s cable-level power specification and feature text state up to 60W Power Delivery.
Scope: Use the named cable-level 60W statement; negotiated device charging is not established and an uncorroborated parsed connector-description number is not promoted to a cable rating. · review due 2027-01-06

C342CSource checked · pending review
The StarTech cable datasheet documents DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode with HBR3 and lists its high-resolution performance examples with DSC. A resolution headline is not an unqualified display-mode guarantee.
Scope: Exact product; host output, display input, compression support and requested timing remain necessary checks. · review due 2027-01-06
Back to first citation ↑Source records: S445
C342DSource checked · pending review
StarTech describes both an active retimer and a certified electronic-marker chip in this named cable. The chip wording does not establish that the whole cable assembly has an independently matched USB-IF certification record.
Scope: Manufacturer chip statement only. No electronic interrogation, certification record match or authentic-sample inspection performed. · review due 2027-01-06

C342ESource checked · pending review
The StarTech datasheet’s selected protocol list names USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and DP Alt Mode 1.4. The inspected list does not establish USB2 fallback or a USB4/Thunderbolt link mode; a Thunderbolt-compatible title is not such a qualification.
Scope: Absence from this inspected list means not established, not proven unsupported. No complete interoperability matrix is claimed. · review due 2027-01-06

Open source ↗Four-page PDF: overview, active retimer and e-marker description, DSC-qualified performance statement, protocol list and 60W cable-level power field; rendered pages inspected. · Retrieved text and rendered PDF expose different table layouts and connector-description wording. Only consistent cable-level facts are admitted. The rendered pages do not corroborate the parsed 100W connector-description line; no 100W cable rating or manufacturer revision explanation is asserted. No USB2 fallback, USB4/Thunderbolt link mode or whole-cable certification is established.
