I have a few other Maxonar cables and expect high quality. I was surprised that the quality was even better than I expected. The cables feel very sturdy and connect very well. The cable isn't too heavy and not too light - seems like how heavy it should be. I've only had it for a few days but I think it will last a very long time. The best part is that the tips are labeled with the cable type - Thunderbolt 3. With so many different "USB"-C" in my drawer, this cable is going to be the most popular because it says what it is : Velcro is a good addition.
