Decent TB3 cable (see details). Recommended

After years of using AMD platforms almost exclusively, I mixed up a few Intel systems to take advantage of TB3/4 solutions at low cost. Unfortunately, this also meant investing in additional peripherals, including cable inventory. That's where the 2.66 foot Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 cable comes in. At least TB4 and USB 4.0 compatibility make for a versatile cable. At $22.50, AAXY isn't cheap, but I think you get what you pay for. Not much to say about this cable other than that it works. The cable is flexible, has a strain relief. There is no wicker jacket here. The metal shells of the connectors are bevelled. Shells are a bit clunky, but shouldn't block ports. I used this with a TB4 laptop and was able to use the cable to charge USB PD and transfer 40Gb/s to the TB3 NVMe case. recommended

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
