For £35 ex-VAT, this is a “buy it if you need it” Thunderbolt 4 cable, not a casual desk upgrade. StarTech’s cables are usually reliable and this one is Intel-certified, which matters if you’re trying to avoid flaky high-bandwidth behaviour (especially with docks, external storage, or multi-display setups). If you’ve got a TB4/USB4 laptop and you actually use the port beyond charging—like running a dock, a fast external SSD, or a couple of display feeds—then paying for a decent cable is often cheaper than troubleshooting intermittent disconnects.
That said, don’t buy it just because it’s Thunderbolt-branded. If you’re only charging or doing slow USB data, there are much better-value USB-C cables. Also, note the length: 1m is great for clean, close connections, but if your dock sits further away you might end up with cable strain or an awkward setup—so check your layout before committing. Bottom line: worth it for TB4 users who want dependable performance and peace of mind; overkill for general USB-C charging/data.
