Apple's 1 meter Thunderbolt 4 cable is framed as a premium, dependable choice for 40 gigabit per second USB and Thunderbolt connections, with a flexible, relatively supple build that should be gentler on USB C ports than stiffer alternatives. The passive design and bulk packaging do not seem to hurt its appeal, and the coupon code APPLEFIVE drops the price to about $31 plus tax. The main hesitation is value, since cheaper third party Thunderbolt cables and even Thunderbolt 5 options are available. A solid pick if you want Apple build quality and a future proof cable.
Professionals moving large files over 40Gbps Thunderbolt links, because this cable is described as exceptionally dependable for high-speed USB and Thunderbolt connectivity.
Laptop dock users who want a flexible cable, because this one is described as relatively supple compared with stiffer cheaper Thunderbolt cables.
Owners planning to keep a Thunderbolt 4 setup for future computers, because a Thunderbolt 4 cable is a more future-proof choice for supported speeds.
Buyers comparing against Thunderbolt 5 value options, because a shorter Thunderbolt 5 cable can cost less while offering higher speeds.
Shoppers who only need basic Thunderbolt connectivity and do not want to pay for premium branding, because comparable third-party cables can be durable and reliable for eGPU dock use.
People worried about cable stiffness putting strain on USB-C ports, because some cheaper Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 cables are much stiffer.

1) The TB4 cable that came with my Lenovo TB4 Workstation Dock (its spliced in with their proprietary square barrel connector). The dock was several hundred dollars.
2) An Anker one (its a few bucks less than this one)
They both work fine and have done eGPU dock connection work.
Not saying this to say that the Apple cable is bad; however, you might not need to pay the fruit tax to get a half-decent item. Similar to lightning, there are good third party ones. In particular, the ones from HP and Lenovo, often harvested from their docks, are quite cheap and definitely just as durable and reliable. They can be as cheap as $10, but maybe around $15 or so if you want it domestically sourced. The ones I see look just like the one with my dock, complete with the FRU part number sticker.
On an unrelated note, Lenovo will mail out replacement TB4 cables if you purchased from them ($$) like no ones business, overnight, if even a single part of a package containing the cable is defective. I had two defective docks (firmware botched up), and got two new cables in my replacement parcel.

These Apple ones are relatively supple/flexible at least. I have some other cheaper TB4/TB5 cables that are... rather stiff and I'm always concerned about the strain they put on USB-C ports.
