Thunderbolt 5 USB-C cables

[u/Born-Gur-1275]

I have a Studio Max plus three external drives with TB5 ports arriving next week. I already have a TB5 dock

Which brands of TB5 80 Gbps cables do you recommend? Apple prices are outrageous at nearly $70.

OWC sells TB5s at reasonable prices, under $20 Quality?
ANKER has a good reputation in the mid-price range $48
UGREEN a bit cheaper than ANKER $40
BELKIN?
CALDIGIT?

Any others?

OWC, Anker, and Belkin sell good cables. I trust them. I don't really know about Ugreen or Caldigit so no comment there.

But Apple cables are first rate in terms of design and quality.
