  monoprice is the go-to, but I'm sure they're just sourcing from someone else and at some point they'll realize there's money to be made by burning down their brand reputation

    I'd second this. Never had issues with features that don't work, and the cables I've gotten are bulky enough to not have issues with wearing out the protective sheathe. They're not the most aesthetic cables, but they're cheap and they work. Anker typically makes decent products too, but I don't have a lot of experience with their USB-C stuff.

  Controversial and not cheap, but since I use apple products and live near an Apple Store… I just buy from apple. They heavily curate what shows up in store so it’s always good enough. That and whatever my work IT sources I’ll also use their brands. My IT had a internal site that lists what they have and I’ll just find a retailer that sells it. Also I’ve never had that “apple cables suck” experience many had so maybe I’m holding it differently- ymmv

    The biggest problem with Apple cables I've seen is that they don't seem as durable as others. But I totally agree that if you want to be sure that a cable is capable of what it claims, Apple is a great choice.
