Anybody recommending cable manufacturers of quality USB-C cable that supports both #PowerDelivery / PD at 100W and #DisplayPort Alt Mode?
Some general info that’s handy

@dch DeLock makes very high quality adapters and cables, is this what you were looking for? They have also other lengths: https://www.delock.de/produkt/80023/merkmale.html?f=s
@gabrielesvelto this is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks. Have you used one of these?
I'm specifically looking for ones that people have actually bought and used, as I have (far) too many draws of cables that don't actually deliver in reality.
@dch not this particular cable, but I have used other USB cables, adapters and enclosures from them and they were all really well built. They've become my go-to place for this kind of stuff even though they tend to be more expensive than other brands. I found the difference well worth it.
@dch Ping me if you’re interested in investing in a USB cable testing device. :-)

Pro: Full featured; Good quality cable, Thunderbolt capable, Alternate mode capable, PD 3.1 EPR, surprisingly cheap
Cons: White may not match your deployment location, very stiff, not USB-IF Certified but *does* support everything
Personally USB Tested. Can provide Tester reports a little later.
@dch Alternative: Axagon BUCM32 - CM10AB Kabel USB - C - USB - C 3,2 Gen 2, 1m, PD 100W, 5A, 4K HD, ALU, Geflecht, schwarz

Pros: Full featured cable; softer to carry around, black :-), good quality cable, even more affordable, Alternate mode including DisplayPort.
Cons: “just” 100W USB-PD 3.0, no Thunderbolt or USB4, not USB-IF certified
Personally tested, works.
Don’t have one on me, so cannot immediately provide tester images. (iIn my archive though)
Being immune to cat-bite would be a plus too.
@zl2tod we don’t have cats, but I’m looking for some explanation like this as to why the existing ones have mysteriously stopped working. My 3 teenagers swear they’re innocent and obviously they’d never lie to me, so cats it could be.
