Pros & 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

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

Yes that means mostly mac users

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
