Review on Dell Thunderbolt USB-C Cable 5T73G for Docking Station TB15 TB16 K16A - Compatible with Dell DPN 5T73G 05T73G 3V37X 03V37X by Arunprasath Corso

Cable replacement saves money

My wife's Dell laptop and Thunderbolt TB16 dock fell to the floor when one of our dogs ran under her desk and got tangled in computer cables. The result was a bent USB-C Lightning cable that didn't fit properly in the Dell laptop port, causing problems with an externally connected monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Not knowing that the docking station cable is detachable, I ordered a replacement Dell TB16 docking station. It showed up but had a dual-port USB-C docking cable that didn't match the Dell laptop. I returned the dock and researched the various USB-C cables that came with it. I realized I could just order the USB-C cable I needed and replace the broken one on the original TB16 dock. It worked great and saved me $200.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • No automatic
