Got a vr headset with usb c
Also got usb 4 ports on pc
Though don't think got anything faster than 1050 MBs
Could test on
Might have some stuff can do 100w but not 240w
At the moment
If you're still looking
USB4 testers needed

I appreciate the offer but the 3 cables are away to the other lads
Thank you anyway, I appreciate the offer.

No worries mateI appreciate the offer but the 3 cables are away to the other lads
Main things you got the testers you needed
More details on the cables please.I've got a new cable in my store but I wanted to get real world feedback. Lab testing, it all checked out as expected, but real world use and Lab testing isn't the same as you all know.
Sizes are
0.5m
2m
3m
I know that the longer the cable length, the more the signal can be affected by the cable length. I'm looking to find out just what sort of speeds these can do real world use.
Someone would have to have the equipment to be able to test at least 1 or more of the following options (preference given to those that can test more than 1 option)
A: data transfer rates
B: 8k video (visually give it the Mark One eyeball test)
C: 240W charging speeds
And have some way to measure, at a reasonable standard, the results they get.
Anyone got the hardware to test? It'll be one of each of the cable lengths so I need 3 people
@Maccy is getting one and gave me the nod to go ahead and post in here.
Who else can help? You can keep the cable too
What wire guage does it use?
Copper?
Tinned copper?
Copper cladded alu or steel?
Sheath temperature resistance?
Shielding type used if any?
Schematics in this post.
This Business and Moment...
Also got a lodger moving in at the weekend so after that, the new job and fuel savings I'm going to be ridiculously better off :p YES!!! Amazing mate, onwards and upwards. Great feeling!

Hi m8. I've done a little bit of testing with your 2m braided cable, so here goes.
I dont think I can list things in a good points/bad points scenario as I've not been able to test the cable according to its full abilities. So I'll just let you know how I've got on
The build quality looks excellent and feels really good in hand, mostly flexible, and certainly not as rigid and awkward as some other braided cables I've got. So yeah a good manageable cable. Its not quite as bendy as my £60 Spigen cable, but hey that advertises 'durabend' and 10,000 bends... Apparently
The connector ends both look nice and solid, well made, and connects with a positive feel when plugging the cable home. Wiggle is minimal and perfectly acceptable.
Now the reason I've got a silly expensive Spigen cable is for its 40Gbps 2m Thunderbolt4/USB 4 capabilities, for use with my eGPU, which it manages without issue across all my devices.
My devices for testing are:
Razer Core Chroma eGPU enclosure, Thunderbolt 3, housing a 4070Ti.
Galaxy Book 4 Pro with 2x Thunderbolt 4/USB4 sockets
Rog Ally X, also with Thunderbolt 4/USB4 connectivity.
I was hoping that as Thunderbolt 4 cables are also USB 4 compliant and from what I understand are very similar, and I've also read that USB4 cables should do Thunderbolt 3 (same as my eGPU), that your cable would offer a good connection comparison to the Spigen cable. Sadly I could not get your cable to connect in any Thunderbolt capacity between any of my devices, boo
The cable connects nicely to my nvme caddy, and offered virtually the same performance as my Spigen cable when I ran a benchmark testing them both. But my caddies limitations are what hold both cables from reaching their true potential. And a quick google shows USB 4 caddies as a bit too expensive for my current usage.
I've got a 4k HDR 160Hz gaming monitor, and your cable connected my Galaxy Book 4 Pro to the monitor with no issues at full 4k 160hz resolution, and the picture looked perfectly fine to me. My RTX 4070Ti and RTX 4090 GPU's dont have USB C output connections, so I couldn't test in a desktop capacity I'm afraid.
I did manage to connect my Book 4 Pro and the Rog Ally X together using your cable, and under windows networking it did show as both being connected over a 20Gbps connection. But my network skills are pretty poor, so I couldn't do much with it

For audio shorter cable = better
just thought you may find it interesting, there's probably a market in making custom length USB cables
Do USB Audio Cables Make A Difference?
Aftermarket USB cables seem to be all the rage with people paying as much as $15,000 for a short run of it!!! Lots of subjective performance reports are out there but none back with any objective measurements that demonstrates any difference. On the other side of the fence many believe there...

Most manufacturers or cable retailers will at least quote the wire guage, wire material, bend radius and temp range, even ones sold by Ali.
Failure to provide this info automatically takes you off my shopping list for cable providers

There's cable data on the Subbytech website.

That's the usual page length issue where sharing links doesn't work because people use different numbers of posts per page. Not sure if it can be worked round.

If you still need a tester, I could check for TB3 compatibility on the 5m cable.
I charge 96w laptop off a TB3 dock with 2x 120 Hz monitors and Gb internet over Ethernet
