AI-generated summary
If you’re paying **£42.32 ex‑VAT** for a 2m C2G Thunderbolt 3 cable, you’re doing it for a specific reason: **reliable high-speed connection for Thunderbolt devices**, not to “make a USB‑C cable work.” In day-to-day office setups (dock to laptop, external RAID, high-end monitors that don’t behave with cheap cables), a decent Thunderbolt cable can be the difference between stable video/audio/charging and annoying dropouts. C2G is generally a safe brand choice, and the 2m length is practical for desks where the laptop sits away from the monitor dock or where cable routing matters.
That said, I’d only buy this if your gear actually uses **Thunderbolt 3**. If you’re connecting normal USB‑C accessories, you’ll be overpaying—most peripherals will be totally fine with cheaper USB‑C cables. Also, at this price point, you should check whether you truly need **2m**; longer runs can be fussier, and having the right cable length keeps things simple. Overall: **good, sensible buy for B2B users running Thunderbolt docks/monitors** who want fewer headaches; **not worth it** for general USB‑C use.
