Technical standpointapple went all out on the interior design of this cable between the chipset and drivers for the signal from endtoend

Cheaper brands aren’t going to get you the same signal or quality for the transmission speeds of 40gbps so i would keep that in mind if that ends up being your reasoning for this cable

Also it’s rated for 100 watts so this might be good for people with devices like the steam deck asus rog ally or the legion go which all require somewhere in that ballpark of charge rate
