In general, it's "cable that does what it says on the tin" - e.g. if it says "I support charging at 100W and USB3 at 20Gbps", it actually delivers that stabily

In general, it's "cable that does what it says on the tin" - e.g. if it says "I support charging at 100W and USB3 at 20Gbps", it actually delivers that stabily and preferrably for more than a week of use :) In general, I've had good experience with braided cables that clearly advertise their capabilities on the box from different vendors, but I mostly don't buy these things on Amazon anymore. Too many false advertisements, so I'm not sure if my recommendations are useful. I guess known brands like CalDigit, Anker and maybe Cable Matters might work.
