Attention compatibility!

I am sure this is a decent product based on all the other reviews but I would caution potential buyers to be aware of any compatibility issues with this product. Not all 4k monitors use the Thunderbolt 3 standard (and 40Gb/s speed) and may only be compatible with USB3.1 and DP Alt 10Gb/s capabilities. This cable does not state that it supports USB 3.1/10 Gbps. So when I connected it to my monitor with a 16" MacBook Pro and it didn't work, I found that the monitor was only compatible with USB 3.1/10 speeds. 10Gb/s and not Thunderbolt 3. You would think that the TB 3 would run at lower quality with USB 3.1/10Gb/s, but that is not the case unless the cable specs make it clear. either), so I'm assuming it's not designed for USB 3.1 etc and will only work as a charging cable, USB 2.0 cable, and Thunderbolt 3 cable. After a cursory inspection, the only cable I have is too see that literally "everything can" (10/20/40Gb/s, TB 3, USB 3.1 etc.) is offered directly by Mac 0.8 m. However, others that don't have the 40Gb/ work well if you don't care about using the 5k functionality. If this information is incorrect, maybe someone can enlighten me a little further.
