The most reliable way to get the right USB Type-C cables for your specific use case is to only buy brands that carry an official certification from the USB Implementers Forum , or USB-IF for short.

Some cables are capable of more than just what the USB spec allows.

You can use a Thunderbolt 3 , 4 , or 5 cable to get Thunderbolt speeds and features unless it's Thunderbolt certified.
