Can’t fault it.
A solid cable. Great price.Does everything you’d want, at the correct speeds.Just wish you could get longer ones – but thats a technical limitation, so cannot mark down for that!

Good quality, does the job.
Good quality does the job.Rubber section that secures the usbc plug (if that’s what it’s called) is quite long, so when pluged into something it sticks out. Could be an issue if you have limited space, depending what it’s plugged into.Otherwise cable is well made, feels thick and strong.

Ticks all the boxes.
If you are looking for a cheap but sturdy USB-C Thunderbolt 4 cable, then this is probably the one for you. Its short being just 1 metre (39 inches) in length but it’s ideal for desktop work and when travelling (Plane, train etc) especially where space is at a premium. I use mine to charge & to connect my iPad Pro M4 to an external Samsung SSD drive and its fast on all counts. It charges quickly and it never misses a beat when accessing or transferring data/files between devices. Including, RAW photos, 4k videos and large files.I can’t speak for its longevity but its robust with a bit of weight to it while at the same time being very flexible. For the price and capability, I can’t speak more highly.

I mean it’s a cable
Seems reliable, quite a still build though other than that it’s a perfect length for everything I need, charges at a good speed.Good Value for money in my Opinion

Fast data transfer
Cable is thicker than expected (my guess is so it is able to transfer 240W of power). Using this cable to transfer large videos from my iPhone 16 Pro to PC worked very well achieving USB3 speeds around 1Gbps. I was expecting nearer to 10 however this is more likely to be an iPhone problem. Cable work well and charges iPhone fast at ~30W

My xp-pen Artist 16 (2nd) gen sadly didn’t come with the cable, and xp-pen naturally wanted an unreasonable price for said cable, so i started looking for alternatives. looking online, i was told that any Thunderbolt 3/4 cable that fits the recessed jack should work, in theory. i plugged this in, and it worked!the cables are build phenomenally for how little they cost. dare i say it, they feel better than many bundled accessories i’ve got with some of my imaging stuff (cameras/pen displays/etc), and the double reinforced plugs are an especially nice touch if i were someone who does gigs. either Amazon got a REALLY good supplier, or they really did think of these things. granted, they’re half the cost of a name-brand cable, but having spares of these versus one really expensive cable might make sense.the length and connections are all to the expected standard, and you could definitely hook this up to and 40GB/s device, a display, drawing pad or a Mac in Target Disk Mode. there’s really not much to say here as i don’t have any equipment for synthetic tests, but i’m just glad i got these. they work wonders for all my applications. know that Oculus PC Link is NOT supported by this. that is something completely different, and C-C cables for the Rift/Quest series exist. that’s not this cable’s fault.if you’re looking for a one-cable-fits all, this is the one to get.

These cables are great. Extremely fast for transferring 4K footage and for charging devices. They are really thick and well made too. Highly recommend.

Funktioniert einwandfrei. Es ist nicht erforderlich, viel Geld für ein USB-C Thunderbolt 4 Kabel auszugeben, dieses hier genügt allemal.Ich hatte das Problem, dass sich mein am Lenovo USB-Dock via HDMI angeschlossener Monitor ständig ausgeschaltet hat. Manchmal dauerte es etwas länger, bis das Bild wieder kam. Extrem nervig, wenn man sich gerade auf seine Arbeit konzentriert und somit Zwangspausen verordnet bekommt. Durch einen Tipp meines Infrastruktur-Kollegen bin ich darauf gekommen, das USB-C Kabel zwischen Laptop und Dock zu tauschen, obwohl das im Lieferumfang des Docks enthalten war.Wichtig ist hier, dass es 40 GBit/s sowie 240W Ladeleistung beherrscht – oder auch Thunderbolt 4 StandardGetauscht getan, alles erste Perle – und dabei festgestellt, dass man keine 30 Euro dafür ausgeben muss.
