This is the extremely fascinating to me. The imaging used to peek inside this cables and the engineering/fabrication of these cables (or are they computers?) is absolutely wild.

    The main reason Apple’s cable is so expensive is because it is so long.

    It’s fairly easy to make a reliable TB4 cable that’s only 1 foot long, making one that’s 6 feet long requires some fairly fancy noise-cancelling within the cable itself.

    This is why a reliable 3-meter Ethernet 400 cable can cost you well over $1000 dollars.
