I got this cable specifically to plug my phone into my external monitor in my car so that I would not lose GPS signal when my phone was plugged into it. This cable does that well and after using this cable, no more GPS signal loss while using my monitor in my car! I can now use Samsung Dex and GPS in my car! It's a well made and properly insulated cable that prevents interference from the vehicles electrical system with the GPS in your phone. I just bought a second one for my other vehicle for that exact same reason. On a side note it's a great cable for other tasks that would require you to have a Thunderbolt 4 cable on hand! Read more

I've been using this cable with my 2019 MacBook Pro (4 Thunderbolt ports) and it's been a game changer. After months of frustration with various docks, KVMs, eGPUs, USB dongles, and a mountain of cables, nothing seemed to work reliably. I tried 4 docks, 3 eGPUs, 2 enclosures, and countless cables. Just as I was about to give up, I found this cable in my laptop bag, a backup I had ordered and forgotten about. Plugging it in, all my connectivity issues disappeared like magic. Most other Thunderbolt cables in this price range are braided, stiff......thick.....When shopping for "the best cable", you look at these cables and think "oh yeah this chonky boy will do" but it won't. It won't do. This cable is different. It's smooth and surprisingly flexible, it doesn't tangle easily, and the connectors slot in with a reassuring consistency. There's never any doubt about whether it's plugged in correctly. Despite unassuming appearance, it's rated for 240W power delivery and 40Gbps throughput (and it will indeed step up to the plate when needed) In a setup plagued with compatibility and connectivity issues, this cable emerged a hero. Whether it was a stroke of luck, divine intervention, or something I overlooked, this cable defeated over $500 of extra gear and a pile of other Thunderbolt Cables. For it's unwavering consistency, reliability, and overall performance, this cable gets a full 5 stars no question. Buy this cable. Read more

High quality Thunderbolt 4 cable with a genuine Intel certification that you can check for yourself on the Thunderbolt website. Both Thunderbolt and USB compatible. I use mine for super fast charging my phone and for data transfers from a portable SSD. More flexible than USB4 cables that can do the same 40 Gbps data transfer rate / 240W charging; my USB4 cable in the same length that supports the same stuff is a bit stiffer. The Thunderbolt logos on either end of the cable are clearly labeled but the 240W charging label on the insulation is slightly difficult to see without looking very closely. Excellent cable overall.

(At the time of this review these were selling for $28.99 for the .8m length - hopefully this will decline) Recently I purchased a Thunderbolt 4 system, docking station, and accessories and had to shop for cables that could support all USB and Thunderbolt data and charging modes. These are the first set I've purchased that actually consistently work at the maximum data throughput and power output supported by whatever they are connected to. It is a bit frustrating to once again be dealing with a set of standards where all USB C-type ports, cables, and accessories are different and not-necessarily backward compatible. It also means that we will likely be seeing more off-brand products misrepresenting their capabilities to get an Amazon sale. I would especially shy away from "USB 4" cables "claiming" to also be Thunderbolt compatible but lacking the certification as two other less expensive, generic cables I picked up were basically heavy-duty USB cables that could not consistently operate with genuine Thunderbolt devices. The price at the time of purchase was a bit off-putting as getting a pair of these into my road-warrior bag was a $60 investment, but as I've come to expect from Cable Matters products they are very well constructed and work as advertised. If you need the speed, power, compatibility and want to carry as few cables as you have to for traveling (or simply need true Thunderbolt 4 throughput and power), these cables will get the job done.

Hands down the best USB C cable on the market. Fits like a snug, extremely flexible, & SUPER FAST CHARGING. Not to mention super fast data connection speed, isn't as clunky as it's predecessor cable but better very flexible & feels durable.. The $25 price is steep but it's worth the money than to gamble on lower tier cables. Cable Matters strikes again with a HIGH QUALITY CABLES Read more
