7P notes: CableMatters Thunderbolt 3 cable
Overview
For connecting my pen displays I often use this cable: CableMatters [Intel Certified] 20Gps Thunderbolt 3 cable (6.6 ft) supporting 100W charging. (amazon link)
Testing setup
Windows setup
Surface Pro 8
TB3 cable plugged directly between Surface Pro and pen tablet
MacOS setup
M2 MacBook Pro
TB3 cable plugged directly between MacBook and pen tablet
Not on recessed USB-C ports cable end thickness
For the CableMatters Usb-C cable, the cable ends are a little too thick to be plugged into some ports that are recessed.
I had to remove some plastic from one of the ends to fit it into the tablets using a knife.
This plastic was tough to cut. I didn't do a very clean job but it just barely fits into the port - the fit is very snug and I should probably remove just a little more.
Testing results
Remember this is testing with my hardware. Your computer may not supply enough power via its USB-C ports to match my results.
