If anyone needs a certified 2m USB C cable, this cable is now 80 cents cheaper than its previous Prime day deal!
20Gbps data, 8K video support, 240W charging, compatible with Thunderbolt 3 & Thunderbolt 4.
CamelCamelCamel.
Whatever floats your boat! One of the few good things I can say about Amazon is their no frills return/refund policy when something does go wrong with a purchase (within a year or so anyway).
If I'd seen your post last night I would probably have gone for a certified cable.
Note: this and the other one linked by Orrelljet are only 20Gbps not 40Gbps
I am looking for a 1m usb C extension cable. Any suggestions?
I use a Fasgear extension for a Homepod - works well https://www.amazon.com.au/Extension-Fasgear-Extender-Compati…
I got this cable ( https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0BF4H2NHN/ ) a couple weeks ago for the current sale price ($16.67) - it says it supports 40Gbps and also USB4 (and compatible with TB3/4) and 240W charging (note: it is 1.2m long)
Side note: to meet TB4 specs a cable longer than 1m needs to be active (not passive) so whilst all these cables might work fine with TB4 devices they don't actually support true TB4 protocol itself
I tried it out with my Acasis NVMe SSD enclosure with my Macbook Pro M3 and got the expected blinding speeds (same as the TB4 cable which came with the enclosure) (so the 40Gbps claim is likely correct). The cabe also works perfectly connecting to a thunderbolt dock (with USB PD charging) and also driving external monitor, etc. I can't test the 240W charging speed (I don't have any devices that support that) but I tested to 100W charging speed fine
That's exactly what I wanted a cable for - Acasis enclosure for my wife's Mac. The shorter Crest cable I mentioned (which I just posted) is $10 for 1m and does 40Gbps. Plumped for that for the enclosure but still grabbed a couple of 2m cables as they look to be decent quality and the 10Gbps equivalent is around the same money or sometimes a fair bit more.
If you're a Mac user you likely don't want to bother with the 20Gbps cables - Mac's only support 10Gbps or 40Gbps (not 20)
So with the 20Gbps cable and the Acasis enclosure you're only going to run at the slower 10Gbps (max 1000MB/sec read/write) rate, you need a 40Gbps cable to get closer to the NVMe's true speed (I get just over 2800MB/sec reads with mine with the 40Gbps cables)
Yup which is why I got the shorter 40Gbps cable for the Mac. Although Macs DO support 20Gbps just not modern ones (TB2 was/is 20Gbps).
Just realised I also have that cable (currently used for a Dell usb-c PD monitor). I originally bought it for my wife's OWC Thunderbolt dock (TB3) but it kept disconnecting so switched back to the original TB3 cable. The speed was great with an enclosure though. I might swap the 20Gbps Crest into monitor duty and keep the other as a fast spare for the enclosure.
These cables from ebay and amazon always go to sh*t after being used for charging for a month or two
Nice. I was looking for one last night and ended up buying this - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0CB33LW6Y No mention of it being certified but the price worked for me.
