Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value on my review.

Overall quality is pretty good, though they aren't quite teenager-proof (not that ANYTHING is, mind you). They do offer excellent quality and value for the price.

Pros
  • Good cable!
Cons
  • May only work with specific Thunderbolt 3-compatible devices

The cable doesn't support power delivery. (Not a 100W one).I am talking specifically about the 2m cable. I have an alienware with 3.1 thunderbolt and a 4k lg 27ud88 monitor supporting type c. The cable though transfers the 4k data but doesn't power up the usb drives on the monitor as well as the audio is not transmitted through this cable.The belkin one works fine in that case and also obv the default LG monitor cable (which is actually a bit short).They need to update the specifications.

Pros
  • Works perfect to connect my mobile studio pro to my MacBook Pro 2017
Cons
  • Connector may become loose over time

Is not a thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable

This is not a Thunderbolt 3 cable. never! I try in a Sandisk Extreme 900 and the results are in the image. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • ‎39.37 x 0.03 x 0.03 inches
Cons
  • Cable may be too rigid and prone to damage

Not the correct lenght

I needed a 18" (1.5') USB-C cable for my desk. Although the web site and the bag said "1.5 feet" the cable is 40" long. I guess if you need a long cable you can order this one at a lower cost. If you need a short one look elsewhere.

Pros
  • I got this to use with my Mac Air, works fine.
Cons
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty use or frequent travel

Achieves 85W Macbook Pro charge

I'm using this with my Belkin Macbook Dock. The supplied cable was just too short. Using this cable, I'm able to get internet, display, USB, and 85W power over this same 2M cable. So far so good! First day.

Pros
  • DAISY-CHAIN CAPABLE: For added convenience, this passive 3.3ft / 1m TB3 (USB Type C) cable can be used to daisy-chain up to 6 devices, making it great for business and IT applications.
Cons
  • May not support data transfer from older devices

Super Fast Cable (Expensive but worth it)

The cable is super fast. Pay attention to get the 40 gHz cable not the 20 like many sellers try and sell. Star Tech is a great company and I have bought many different items from them in the past. There tech support is out of this world!. Cable worked great just like every product I buy from them. The cost is a little high for a cable but worth it. Star Tech had the best price for the cable that I found from Ebay sellers for a 6 Foot Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Pros
  • ‎China
Cons
  • Connector may not fit all device cases or covers

Does NOT work with EGPU AORUS GTX 1080 gaming box

second cable I've tried. Will be buying the apple and a 20gbs cable to try. So far the too small 1.5 ft cable that came with the aorus works fine.

Pros
  • Excellent build and connection quality is great just wish it were cheaper
Cons
  • Liked length (if not the cause of heat)

Used for the Razer CoreX Chroma

Works perfectly for the CoreX Chroma. I have this cord routed from the Core that's hanging under my desk with a desktop holder, and then the cable is routed to the laptop in the laptop stand on the other end of the desk.

Pros
  • 100W OF POWER DELIVERY: The Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 3 cable delivers up to 100W of power for charging a Thunderbolt 3 laptop or powering your display. It also provides 15W for bus-powered devices.
Cons
  • Cable may not be durable enough for long-term use

Works perfectly - my new review

Finally found a cord I can use to connect my samsung smart monitor to my dell laptop. It works for the monitor and to power to laptop (yay less cords). This is 3rd one ive tried and other 2 gave me an error message as boot up, this one has worked perfectly for over a month of daily use and is lobg enough that my laptop can be where i want to it, a little ways away.

Pros
  • ‎1 Count
Cons
  • Not suitable for charging more than one device simultaneously

Great, but will buy longer model in future.

Works exactly as expected, shorter than I would hope, but you get what you order when it comes to length as this thunderbolt cable may be short but it still works great for DP and data related requirements over my devices. Nothing negative of note, but all utilization requirements are smooth as one could expect.

Pros
  • Works great, charges Mac while transfers data to LG monitor.
Cons
  • May not support quick file transfer for large files

Bought it as a spare cable for a razer core. It works but seems to be way less reliable than the cable supplied from razer.It would disconnect from time to time which can freeze my razer blade stealth

Pros
  • EXPERIENCE 4K VIDEO: The Thunderbolt 3 USB C cable (male to male) supports up to 4K 60Hz video and DisplayPort 1.2, and is compatible with exiting DP displays.
Cons
  • May not support charging for all devices at full speed

Filling the need perfectly

Works great, needed a usb-c that could transfer video from a Laptop to a portable monitor and it’s exactly what I needed.

Pros
  • Not my first StarTech because these cables are excellent.
Cons
  • Some users may prefer a braided cable for durability
