Arguably, many of the cheap cables I've purchased haven't been worth the price. I may have saved money by not having to replace them. But even if they did end up cheaper after replacements, there is still the argument for the amount of frustration and time wasted that comes from dealing with defective products.
What does more robust mean in relation to cords lol
I've had a LOT of USB cables go bad over the years. And it seems that the cheap cables from no-name brands are much quicker to become defective. Cables often take more abuse than you realize. Either by being crushed, bent at a sharp angle, or by putting pressure on the connector while the cable is plugged in.

Totally agree with you on the cheap cables. They just don't hold up! Do you have any brands or specific models of cables you'd recommend? I'm looking for something durable that's worth the extra investment.

anker is good
They look nice cosmetically, but they have the E-Marker chip only in one direction - meaning you get a 240W cable if the USB-C connector is plugged in one direction, but only 60W in the other direction.
Very strange, and not something I've come across before, but several other Amazon reviews mention the same issue.

Maybe they are no longer any good I have never used anker cables.
Will just look for more Iniu

And I wouldn't say Anker has gone down hill, more like upscale, ie higher prices now.
