I am not sure whether this cable is defective or simply not suitable for my application. I tried to connect a Blackjet UX-1 card reader to an M1 Mac Mini and it wouldn't install no matter what I did. The power light on the UX-1 only lights up when a Thunderbolt cable is connected, so I know SOMETHING. happened, but the Mac didn't have any cards installed and the UX-1 didn't show up as a Thunderbolt device in System Information. Went to Best Buy and bought a genuine Apple Thunderbolt cable and it installed straight away. VEBNER doesn't seem to have an easily identifiable online presence (no website, no support email, twitter, etc.) so I have no other way to troubleshoot the issue other than simply saying that this isn't working.
