Cable Matters [USB-IF Certified] 10 Gbps Gen 2 USB C to USB C Cable - 3.3ft / 1m, Supports Up to [4K@60Hz Video, 100W Charging, 10Gbps Data Transfer], Black

Cable was not able to detect my SSD once it was plugged into my mobile phone, but I think the issue is with Samsung and their newest Android update, not the cable itself. I am therefore very happy with the snugness of the cable connectivity, and it feels quite durable; it's longer than a stock cable for my SSD, so if / when I get things figured out, that will definitely be a plus for me not having the hard drive dangle so much.

For context, I’m a photographer. I own a lot of cables of various USB standards and I’ve thrown a lot out. CableMatters is, in my experience, one of the best brands on the market.I use this cable to tether my camera to my computer for studio sessions. The connection is solid and stable, and I haven’t experienced any disconnections of hiccups even when moving the camera around with the cable attached. Furthermore, the length of the cable while still maintaining the 20Gbps bandwidth is phenomenal, and I’d be hard pressed to find a suitable alternative for the price.The cable is quite thick, as I’d expect of a USB 3.2 gen 2x2/USB4 cable. It’s got thick rubber sheathing and has a tendency to hold it’s bends, but I’ve never found it to be excessively stiff, nor have I encountered any permanent kinks in the cable even when clamped to the tripod plate beneath my camera. My setup in particular places the cable at a pretty sharp curve near the attachment point, but after several months of use I haven’t encountered any kinks, disconnects, or issues with charging or data transfer.After some testing on a 20Gbps USB 3.2 gen 2x2 SSD (Sandisk 4TB Extreme Pro v2), I found that the advertised transfer speed was accurate. The cable consistently maintained a stable 20Gbps connection.And, as much as this may sound like a long winded way of saying “yes, the cable works as advertised,” I want to point out that many comparable USB cables cut corners where this product has not. Many cables advertised at 20/40Gbps will not maintain a stable connection, and I’ve encountered issues when using subpar counterparts to CableMatters.If you’re looking for a sturdy, reliable, and generally excellent USB 3.2 Gen 2x2/USB4 cable, this is the one for you. I expect nothing but the best from CableMatters, and this product lives up to those expectations and then some!

Worked when two other USB C to C cables did not. The device I plugged into needed the communication with the cable to charge. I plugged both ends into a few devices and the connection was solid, not loose. I would consider the flexibility average. Might be a bit stiff for a phone but it will work. My son likes this manufacture and I can see why. If there is anything negative I see is the markings are quite difficult for me (old man) to read. There is a S/N tag on it that could also have the rating.

The cable is of high quality however it is impractical to use this cable in a mobile setting as the cable is very thick and what I don't like about it the most is that the tips are elongated in such a way that if the tip were stressed or flexed but mistakingly It would not only damage the cable but it would also damage the port I understand that the control chip or module is actually inside of that piece and that is what is contributing to its size however I believe that this company could have easily changed that and not went with that type of design but actually integrated it into a different part of the cable that will be less vulnerable to stress.
