It doesn't do a great job of remaining in the socket

It doesn't do a great job of remaining in the socket. I haven't gotten the magnifying glass out, but I'm assuming it's missing a retention mechanism that my other USB type-c cables have. It's possible that is a feature and not a bug; as the cable is quite long and is more likely to get kicked or stepped on. That said, you have few options if you're looking for a cable at this length. The thing does technically work, but if it moves too much you may lose connection for a moment. It DOES handle displayport over USB type C, so if you're as confused as the industry seems to be on how which USB type c cable works with what, that may help you ;D.

Pros
  • High quality and high speed thunderbolt 3 cable.
Cons
  • Connector may need to be re-plugged in frequently
