Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The length and build quality are the strongest selling points to me. My only complaint is it feels. The price is very competitive with belkin, my 2nd option if this startech one wasn't available.

Thunderbolt 3 is a joy to use, with a reversible connector that fits snugly and a single cable type for high speed data transfer and video. Great for just charging or for thunderbolt 3 data. Crystalmarks on the ssd performance shows no degradation ove...  Read More

The startech cord is well made and well insulated. The molded connector seems to last a very long time. It's fairly thick and seems durable.

It works perfectly for connecting a mac mini and a sonnet breakaway box (550 w) with a rx 580 graphics card. Works great, single cable carries 4k video, audio and power from my macbook pro to this badass 43 4k monitor (don't buy the apple one) it can ...  Read More



Cons

The cable doesn't work with the ivoler 75w usb type c charger to charge my 2016 hp elitebook folio with 2 thunderbolt 3 usb-c ports. This is unacceptable. It is not a thunderbolt 3 cable, its not even a thunderbolt 1 cable. The cable only charges my l...  Read More

Highlights

Quality


Overall quality is pretty good, though they aren't quite teenager-proof (not that anything is, mind you).


Excellent build and connection quality is great just wish it were cheaper


I saw no speed difference when using the drive with this cable or the one that came with the drive.


Well, it's not the fault of the product itself, but rather my needs being different.

Price


The price is very competitive with belkin, my 2nd option if this startech one wasn't available.


The cost is a little high for a cable but worth it.


I removed 1 star for what i feel is an outlandish price.

Packaging/appearance


Nothing on the product packaging indicates 4k support.

Competitiveness


The cables are sometimes not so great or up to spec, but so far, so good with this startech model.


It works well with cintiq pro 13

    Now unless your monitor has a usbc thunderbolt 3 compatible output accomplishing this task could be difficult


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wasnt especially happy that i had to spend this kind of money on a cable but i did understand that thunderbolt cables are not cheap


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It needs to be 4k 60hz 40gbps


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Without that spec you cant use a single cable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Pay attention to get the 40 ghz cable not the 20 like many sellers try and sell


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Yes that means mostly mac users


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I am a pretty basic user of usbc ports i mainly use them to charge my pixel xl phone and to occaisionally transfer pictures data so i cant speak to the viability of the toppromised thunderbolt 3 speeds etc
