If you have one of the expensive "supports everything" cables (100w charging, Thunderbolt 3 @ 40mbps) then yeah, the same cable will work. I couldn't even find a 10' one on Amazon with a cursory look. Some of the 6' ones were in excess of $70.
- ses1984 6y agoBoth 100w charging and high speed data transfer are problems that get harder over long distances, and trying to do them both in the same cable requires many non-trivial feats of engineering, quality materials, and manufacturing. No one ever said USBC was going to bring these features to cheap $5 cables you buy in the checkout at the corner bodega.
- freeone3000 6y agoBut the EXISTENCE of those $5 cables with extremely limited capability muddle the entire market. I'd call them counterfeits, except for some reason they're spec compliant!
- ses1984 6y agoI can't say I agree.
