Looking for USB-C/ Thunderbolt 3 meter cable recommendations (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a recommendation on a high quality 2 or 3 meter USB-C /Thunderbolt cable used for data transfer and charging.

After yet another replacement Anker cable usb-c cable I’d really like to get cables that can last a few hundred cycles and I need a recommendation.

Are there any companies that make higher durability cables?

--Edit-- So far recommendations I have gotten are

  • Samsung
  • LCom
  • cable matters
  • Braided jackets
  • Power delivery of 25w or greater
  • Use magnetic disconnects

I'm not familiar with different brands, but make sure you get braided cables at least. I've had a couple of those last me years.
