No USB cable has “gigabit speed”. It probably has 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard).

What? I'm either misunderstanding you or this statement isn't correct. Having USB cables that can move data at gigabit rates has been common for quite some years.

Here's the latest stuff:

Bitrate

20 Gbit/s
40 Gbit/s
80 Gbit/s
120/40 Gbit/s asymmetric

I meant that no USB standard actually has exactly 1 Gbit/s. I even mention that next one if 5Gbit/s. Just a misunderstanding I think.

Oh, okay, makes sense, thanks.
