Welcome to the world of USB-C! My general approach, and recommendations to others, is to purchase only Thunderbolt 3 cables.

Yes, they're more expensive. But they'll essentially handle everything you throw at them, and behave as expected (due to the large protocol support [0,1]).

Of course, this won't always be the case. But it's generally a safe assumption for now.
