Failed to work despite verification
Literally never even worked. Triple checked to make sure the computers in question were compatible. Failed to launch. Tech support is via email so good luck.

Outstanding!
So Good! There are alot of companies out there that claim their product can do a LITTLE MORE than it can actually DO... Thus leaving the consumer in a position to where it's hard for us to expect much. Plugable is the exact OPPOSITE! In my experience.. Every single Plugable product does better/more than what it claims! Coming from someone here who has grown to expect great things from Plugables products.. they STILL somehow always manage to impress me! I have reached HIGHER data transfer speeds than it claims, reached resolutions/Fps than your supposed to be able to get with the listed bandwidthAnother thing (also not new to me from a plugable product) There is something MAGICAL about this companies products to where I will try a new setup with something that Ive already tried with similar products from other brands only to find that it doesn't work ... but then I give it one last shot with a plugable product.. and BAM .. it just WORKS with little to no effort. With this transfer cable, I have managed to make things work together that I could NOT accomplish with other cables including fully certified TB3/4 Cables!The only one SMALL request I would have, is that they make it a bit more clear where/how to acquire the free Bravura transfer software that comes with the cable, but the cable itself is Perfect! I've Already decided that I need to order a 2nd one of these. This is a VERY impressive cable here, especially for the length!

Didn't work for me.
I tried everything to get this thing to work but nothing I did worked. It was just stuck on waiting for connection forever. I had to end up using an ethernet cable and another application to transfer my files.

Absolutely a dumpster fire of a product
I bought a new laptop (Razer) and was looking forward to transfer all of my files from my old laptop (Razer) and as it was processing my transfer I received an error that it lost connection. I have even purchased the laplink software to move my information from my old computer to my new computer using the cable and the software didn't recognize my other computer. I don't recommend buying this product at all. Just purchase the Laplink software and transfer all of your files through the wifi.

Best thunderbolt cable on the market
Disclaimer: I'm not an Apple user, so my review is based solely on Win 10 experience. I bought it initially for the data transfer between my old and new laptop, but haven't got a chance to do it. Instead, I used it to connect my laptop to the portable 17" monitor through this cable. I didn't want to use HDMI cable for this as you need an additional cable for power adapter (HDMI doesn't supply power). So I really wanted to use a single cable. There is, however, confusion between Thunderbolt and USB-C connectors since both of them have the same physical port. You can buy a cheap USB-C cable but it would only work for power or data transfer at best. I have tons of USB-C cables around but none of them worked for this application. I also tried one short Thunderbolt cable I previous owned but it didn't allow to turn monitor brightness all the way up. This cable was not only long, but satisfied all the requirements above: 1) replaced HDMI connection, 2) powered my extended monitor, and 3) allowed for the highest brightness.

High end USB-C/thunderbolt cable, unsure if worth the $50 price tag
I use USB-C cables for everything from charging devices to data transfer. I wanted to see if there was value in a $50 USB-c cable and honestly, I am unsure that there is for most people. This cable is marketed as a windows transfer cable, so perhaps if you have large data transfer it would be worth the premium to you. If you have a business where you can write off such a pricey office product, then OK. But personally, I cannot justify the cost of this cable because it is well, just a USB-C cable. Is it durable? Yes. Is it study? Yes. Have I tested it against cheaper cables to determine longevity and data transfer speed? No. There is a good video online showing Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt transfer at high speeds using proprietary software. That being said, I prefer backing up my laptop via Dropbox and when I get a new device, I just let it sit for some time and download via high speed Wifi. Does this take longer? Yes. Do I have a need for faster transfer? Not really. I am sure there is the right consumer out there for this product, it just isn’t me.

It worked for my use case.
I am satisfied with this cable. I used it to connect my M1 Mac Mini to the integrated HUB on my monitor. Note, however, that I am not sending video information through it (there is a separate DisplayPort cable connected that carries the video information). Actually, I am not even sure if this cable would be capable of sending video signals. The description does not mention that use case. Having said that, It is serving its purpose perfectly fine. The connection to the HUB is perfect and all devices are working.The built quality is also good. The cable has good flexibility while looking durable.In my opinion, the price of the product seems to be on the high side. Especially being marketed as a "transfer" cable, and not a video delivery cable (again, don't know if it is capable of that or not). But overall, I still think is a 5-star product based on it doing the job as described in the listing and the excellent quality.

20Gbps networking on the cheap!
This cable is properly awesome if you have thunderbolt capable devices that can take advantage of it. Although I have two fairly dated laptops now with Thunderbolt 3 connectors, I was still able to get a Thunderbolt network connection working at 20Gbps! 20Gbps! That is nuts! With the Thunderbolt network connection established, I can simply use regular Windows file sharing (SMB) to transfer files back and forth. Doing this, my speed was basically limited to my SSD speed versus the 20Gbps network connection speed. During the file transfer, it was effectively a flatline of 700MBps (5,600Mbps) which is frankly insane for two laptops from the vintage 2018 era. Super solid, no drops nothing.The included software is nice for those less technically inclined. If you know anything about networking, you most likely won't need it. Simply plug one end to the thunderbolt connection on device 1 and the other end to the thunderbolt connection on device 2. If you Thunderbolt security on, allow the connection via the Intel Thunderbolt software on both sides. If security is not enabled, the connection will be automatically established. Then inside your Network Connections window (search for it), you'll see Thunderbolt Networking show up on both devices. You can opt to change the IPs on both devices, or you can leave it on the auto-configure IPs (169.254.*.*). Then share a folder on one device, and use file explorer to navigate to that shared folder from the other device (e.g. \\169.254.*.*\share). Then you can send a file across and witness that insane speed!In terms of cable construction, it is fantastic. Thick, yet very soft and flexible. It does not hold shape. The two meter length is much better than shorter 3.3ft cables. No braiding unfortunately but still very well made.As for price, it is without a doubt pricey at $70 a pop. But this is not a cable for people just looking to charge a phone. It's a high speed cable for data transfers. Factoring in the speed of this cable and what you would need to buy to get the same speed using actually network cards and switches and what have you, the cost becomes comparatively miniscule. For those who need to move files very fast between computers, this is an excellent yet economical choice. Funny that the cable will also be much thinner than an ethernet cable rated for that same speed. Really a no brainer unless you already have like 20Gbps network equipment in your house.

Thick and flexible Thunderbolt 4/USB 3.2 cable. Includes Bravura transfer/sync software.
The Plugable Thunderbolt Transfer Cable feels like quality, with a thick rubberized or soft touch plastic cable. The cable is thick, but is still flexible, unlike other TB3/TB4 cables that use the braided nylon housing which makes those cables really stiff. The main feature of this transfer cable is the inclusion of the Bravura product key to enable file syncs between two computers, Mac to Mac, Windows to Windows, or Mac to Windows.There is a slight discrepancy in the specs on the description and on the box. The label on both ends of cable show Thunderbolt but not the 40Gbps that is typical of TB4 support. The description does state the cable have maximum transfer support of 10Gbps but the box specifies this is a TB3/4 compatible cable that can support 40Gbps. However, this is not a USB4 cable, so you won't be getting the 40Gbps transfers with Windows. When I tested the cable with my FNB38 USB Tester, the Plugable cable does have PD eMarker so it can charge devices at 100W (20V-5A) and it supported USB 3.2 Gen 1, or 10Gbps. So if using the cable between two Macs that support TB4, the max is 40Gbps but if transferring between 2 Windows PC, or Windows and Mac, max transfer is 10Gbps. I used this cable with my Orico Thunderbolt 3 enclosure as I needed a longer cable and the 2m cable length is a versatile length. I experienced no issues with performance and getting full speeds, compared to the OEM cable. Recommended.

Simple, well made, trustworthy.
This is essentially the same cable as far as I can tell that they used to sell without the bundled transfer software from Bravura (a product key for it is printed right on a label on the cable itself). I have to say, there aren't many situations where I would personally find myself using the software but for ease of use in simply enabling PC to PC file transfers without any network between them the software seems to be easy and very straight forward to use, I don't think anybody would have an issue technical or not in transferring files this way. The older versions required special USB cables to accomplish this but it seems like with Thunderbolt the cable no longer needs to be "special". It's definitely a nice addition that gives this cable some real extra utility over a plain cable found elsewhere.The cable itself is built well but in a simple no nonsense way, nothing particularly fancy about the jacket or plugs on this but that stuff doesn't really matter if the cable can't maintain the speed you need for the length of the cable (a 2M cable alone that just works used to be relatively rare and expensive with Thunderbolt). The cable has good flexibility and feels like it should last, I've had no issues with the cable supporting the full feature set of my Dell work laptop.

Thick Durable Cable, Lightning Faster Data Transfer Speeds & Secure Connection to Ports
[PROS] 👍✔Thick durable rubberized material, the quality is excellent and will last for years to come without any risk of tearing over time✔When inserting the cable into a USB-C port, the connection remains firmly in-tact without any looseness whatsoever and when removing the cable, a firm tug is required, in all testing the cable has remained securely connected without any worry✔The manufacturer offers a 2 year warranty with US customer service✔Data transfer speeds are lightning fast when moving large data files from laptop to SSD or between computers[CONS] 👎✘ During my review, I was unable to find any issues with this product. In the event I discover something in the future, I will update this review.[PRODUCT EXPERIENCE] ★ ★ ★ ★ ★👉The Plugable Windows Transfer Cable (6.6ft) Thunderbolt 10Gbps is currently priced as $70.00 at the time of this review. I've been using Plugable products for a number of years and they've always been stellar in quality, this particular cable is no different, as it's amongst the thickest and more well built cable I've used to date. The cable itself may seem like it's expensive, however the performance and quality is bar-none, I can't think of any other manufacturer I enjoy as much as Plugable for docking stations and cables.

Requires TB3/4 or USB4
I connect my Surface Pro 4 to a Plugable docking station with this cable and provides full features such as ethernet, keyboard, mouse and 2 monitors. Allows me to plug in one cable and be ready for work immediately. TB4 is supported and very appreciated, as the stability and speeds are fantastic.Very happy with this cable, it feels premium and it worked immediately. I've tried cheap generic China branded USB-C cables that were finnicky and I didn't trust them with any cable protection.The included Bravura software hasn't been used, but I can see the benefits of using it.I've had Plugable accessories in the past such as USB switches and USB power analyzer, so I trust this brand with USB type devices and cables.
