Buying advice

Ensure your device supports Thunderbolt 3 or 4 to get full 40Gbps speed. For laptops needing high charging, pick a cable with 100W support. Cable length matters: shorter cables (under 1m) are cheaper but less flexible, while longer active cables (2m+) cost more. Check for certification to avoid compatibility issues.
