There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

    $90 for a cable and it’s not even braided is wild to me.

      Braiding doesn’t really increase the cable quality per se though…?

      It’s $90 because it has fairly thick wiring and as Margot said is likely an active cable (with a chip in the plug). It’s actually fairly cheap considering the feature set.

        Braided cables are just higher quality imo because they can’t tangle easily and take a lot of effort to bend.

      I prefer not braided. Both for cables and hair. More of a ponytail kinda guy myself.
