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
