Do people have any recommendation on a good USB-C cable that can do full speed Thunderbolt? Right now I have a working cable that feeds a 4K monitor (and previously two!), a USB hub which includes keyboard, mouse, network, etc, and powers the laptop back. The monitor is a Dell UltraSharp 27 Inch 4K USB-C Hub Monitor (U2723QE) : Computer Monitors | Dell Canada.
I think part of the problem is that longer cables make high-speed data transmission more difficult. They have to have good shielding, and longer lengths often either won’t work at high speeds, or have to be “active.”
I’ve had reasonable luck with Belkin cables, but the USB4 version I think is more like 1 meter, not two. And I’ve never speed tested it. Just plugged it into things and they “worked,” so I didn’t complain. I’ve used a few others as well, but all the “high speed” ones were always around 1 meter or so at most.
I actually have a few of the LTT cables (different versions) on order. But they sold out and were delayed. From the way it sounds, I won’t get them until March or April.
that says “480MBPS”, it’s not what we need here.
to be clear, i’m not looking for a charging cable here: i’m looking for a data transfer cable, specifically one that does 2x4K monitors, in my case at 60 Hz.
i’m not exactly sure what that means in terms of bandwidth. I would assume I need at least 20gbps, but the be on the safe side, I would assume I would need the 40gbps which is what this 40gbps 1m LTT cable does.
I’d also like to have it as long as possible. Right now, I have a 1m cable, and it’s not quite long enough, I’d like to find longer ones, but I actually doubt it’s even possible.
