Cable Matters 80Gbps USB4 Cable, 0.3m, Black | [8K@120Hz / 4K@480Hz Video, 240W Charging, 80Gbps Data] USB 4 Cable, Compatible with Thunderbolt 5, MacBook, XPS, Surface Pro

Almost went for the expensive anker or ugreen ones and even then they didn’t have the performance. I was sceptical but when it arrive I was impressed very very high quality, worked with my monitor and even charged my MacBook through usb c, at 98w and 4k 240hz extreme value for money

I've yet to find something this cable cannot do that it was marketed to do! Display, charging, data transfer are all above board.

Quality piece of kit

The cable failed after less than 1 year of use. I was using it to connect a laptop to an external monitor. For reference, my monitor is an MSI MPG 322URX (4K OLED). I keep on switching between two laptops, a Zephyrus G14 2023 and a MacBook Pro M4 MAX. If that's relevant, the Zephyrus is always connected to its own power adapter, while the MacBook uses the power delivery from the monitor going through the USB cable. I started having random black screens with both the laptops on the external monitor. On my PC laptop, sometimes Windows was freezing as well, until I unplugged the cable from the laptop, then Windows would become responsive again. On the MacBook, the black screens were much more frequent (a few times per day) than the PC laptop. Initially, I didn't know whether it was an issue with the monitor, then I got a new cable to check whether it was actually a cable problem. It turns out that it was the cable. I've been using my new replacement cable (CalDigit Thunderbolt 5 Pro Braided Cable) for over 3 months and I never had any issue so far. I hope this new one lasts longer, especially because it's much more expensive than the Cable Matters one.

These cables are great thick ,fast to charge anything imho. Does what it says on the tin. Thanks for reading my review.

Brilliant. At last a usb C cable that works both charging my iPad and transferring data from my camera. USB C may have a. Universal shape, but there are many variations of data transfer speed as well as charging ability. I would rather pay a little more for a cable that wont let me down.

Excellent cable but had to return due to the length. For dual monitors setup you need 2m

This cable suggests 240W power delivery. I measured the current delivery from USB C to USB c and it came out at 0.5 Amps. Nowhere near the advertised power deliver. I used a different USB C cable that showed 1.5 Amps from the same USB C power port.

Real certified USB-IF cable unlike most fake brands. Top quality and super price. Best Thunderbolt alternative for amazing quality.

Bardzo sztywny przewod, działa świetnie z egpu.

No todos los cables USB C permiten usarlos para video (por ejemplo, conectarlo a monitores) o imagen... Este funciona perfectamente, incluso con un Mac antiguo (el primer modelo que incorporó este tipo de conector). Es tan sencillo como enchufar y... ¡Listo! Todo perfecto. ¡Genial!

Very good quality cable, 2ft is a little short but still works quite well.

Verified Power Delivery The biggest claim for high-end USB4 cables is the power throughput, and this cable actually delivers. I tested this with an Anker 140W GaN Charger (which has a built-in wattage display). When my MacBook Pro was under 20% battery, I was able to confirm it consistently hits 100W+ without any throttling or heat issues. If you need a cable that can actually handle the "fast charging" promises of modern hardware, this is it. Speed & Future-Proofing There are few cables at this price point that supports 80Gbps data transfer while also handling 240W power delivery. This cable is the definition of future-proof. Whether you are prepping for Thunderbolt 5 or just want to ensure your current 8K/4K display setup has zero latency, this covers all the bases. It is extremely fast for data-heavy tasks like moving large video files between external drives. Solid Construction The build construction is rock solid. The 2ft length is perfect for a desktop charging station or connecting a laptop to a hub without a mess of tangled wires. The connectors feel premium and seat securely with a satisfying click—there’s no "wiggle" that might interrupt a data transfer or a charging session. Final Thoughts Solid cable, reliable company, fast and future proof setup that you don't have to worry about encountering bottlenecks.
