Review on Cable ⚡️ Matters Charging: Thunderbolt-Certified by Russ Charmin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unstable (physical?) connection to eGPU on macOS Big Sur

I have many Thunderbolt cables (Startech, Choetech, Caldigit, and CableMatters) and previously chose CableMatters' proprietary TB3 cable to connect my eGPU with to connect to my Mac. It was best to accidentally hit it without turning off the eGPU. Decided to try this new one, but in the first few minutes after plugging it in, macOS reported two unsafe disconnects in a row, just plugged in with no change. I just slammed the table and it started again. Unfortunately, I cannot rely on this cable to provide a good physical connection.
