USB4 40Gb/s cables with 100W PD

Here are all the maximum spec USB4 cables certified by USB-IF as of 2020/12/27. These ~0.8-1m cables support all Thunderbolt 4 (TB4) features including backwards compatibility with USB 3.x USB-C, 8K support, etc., at potentially lower cost than Intel-certified cables. Yeah that’s right, maximum-spec USB4 == TB4. Perhaps some of these cables will be Intel-certified in the future so they can get in on Intel’s marketing programs…

• Cable Matters 107032-BLK-0.8m (~$23 claimed Intel TB4 certified but doesn’t appear on Intel list as of 2020-12-27 so possibly a re-brand)

• CalDigit 0.8m TB4-P08B-540 (~$30 – Intel certified)

• Zikko M-TB4080/M-TB4200 cable (Intel certified)
