The thing about USB4 that I really don't like is that it's got a bunch of optional parts in the standard (including the TB3 compatibility).
Right now, the best way to guarantee a cable works with basically all the USB4 standards is to purchase a certified TB3 cable.
Any ole USB-C cable may support anything from USB 2.0 speeds to TB 4 speeds. It's sort of a crap shoot. The same is true for a USB4 controller.
