Not sure if I will get some but a new quality product .
... yeah, no.
Ive bought plenty of generic / cheap cables, including several 40gbps ones and 240w ones. They all work.
Since LTT apparently didnt bother to Google his info this time (as he's spent his entire career doing), I'll explain: 9 times out of ten it ISNT the cable. Copper is copper, shielding is shielding. Theres a reason why, for example: cat5e cables can often handle 10gbps ethernet, despite not being designed to do so.
Its the device, signal strength, connector quality, and similar factors. Ive gotten 40gbps at 6ft from a cheap cable, because the PC in question (my old Asrock X570 ITX /TB3) has strong signal strength on its port (TB3 in this case, but its still 40gbps).
This whole LTT thing just seems scummy AF. Theres already dozens of made of China cables whose company names look like a cat stepped on a keyboard - those are the ones you dont expect much from. But everything else? Prime cables and UGreen for example, have run everything ive thrown at them, no issues. Full speed and power delivery, every time.
"Not everyone has a ten thousand dollar cable tester" LMFAOOO... yeah, no, again. Testing bandwidth from a USB4 enclosure is plenty enough for everyone. Flexing his cash to peddle to cheap cables, which will likely be made in the same factories as every other cable? Gross.
Hard pass. LTT cringe again.

Agreed. I just buy my cables from Prime Cables online. Work as advertised and are priced right.
It's the same price as Anker and UGreen and they are decent cables. As long as you are not rough with the connector they should be fine. This smells like Lunchy and Prime and any other "celeb" product. "Aviation Gin" also got a crap review. If someone bothers testing it and found it be as good as Anker, UGreen, Amazon Basic (I generally avoid those), then sure why not. Otherwise, I don't see why I should go out of my way to buy LTT products.
I don't understand why it took him 5 years to design the cable. I mean did he get a degree in electrical engineering? It just looks like it got thicker cable shell and longer boot, which could contribute to durability (assuming the cooper inside isn't crap). I mean silicone flow cable, that's what Anker have for their 100W cable while their 240W are braided. Looking at the warranty section, again, no definition of warranty period, so another "trust me bro" warranty?

Im sure its fine their screwdriver is well built. But loads of devices come with well built cables. I doubt my samsung or Asus usb cable isnt to spec lol
I have heard their screw driver set is actually pretty good. While I would say the OE cables are up to specs, I do tend to buy extra cables when I move my devices around. Especially to charge my phone in my car, office, and bedroom where I already have a charger plugged into the wall and squid of wires to plug devices in.
Yeah, I haven't had any issues with recent cables being up to spec other than having to be very particular about the specs I need/want when I'm shopping.
USB C spec is really a PITA though. It's all over the place especially once you add straight up charging cables into the mix.

I dont have a "ten thousand dollar cable tester", but I do have a 60 dollar USB tester that tells me plenty about which charging standards, throughput and wattage are actually being supported:
There is a difference between actually being in spec and being close enough that it still works due to tolerances but is not in spec. But as you work it, ages, heats up etc maybe it shifts just a little then stops working as expected
Take 12VHPR for example...

They seem like good cables. But tbh I don't need more than 10W cables cable that work with Android Auto.
