Since it's somewhat related to the topic, does anyone have a recommendation for where to buy USB 3.0 or 3.1 is cords is that are relatively inexpensive? I've gotten burned by Amazon too many times to trust.
Otherwise go to a real manufacturer like monoprice or a smaller company that specializes in cable. They will usually work well.
You can’t get good cables for aliamazon bargain prices unless you go used/open box or similar.
I wanted some thin and various length hdmi cables, Amazon sold me garbage (no surprise these days). Went to monoprice and they were cheaper than Amazon and they worked. Not basement prices like some places... but I don't have a problem paying for reliability.
Monoprice is solid and their prices are fair. I think I got half a dozen cables shipped for about what one costs at e.g. CVS.
Monoprice does not manufacture anything. Also, a lot of the apple USB-C cables are power only.
Amazon basics might work, but I trust monoprice more.

Okay, I'll bite; how?
(In all sincerity - I don't believe you, but if there really is an easy solution, that would make my life better and would be appreciated)
Also, a lot of the reviews are really bad, everything from poor construction to not being flexible enough to the connectors not fitting.
It is highly unlikely they are selling a compliant 100W cable that is over 3 feet.
