Let's say i want to replace some old and broken cables
Are there any certain brands I should try and buy from if I want a long lasting and reliable experience?
Im currently looking for 3 cable types:
I dont have the exact list i need right now and i will try to provide one tomorrow or later but i do want to note that i dont wanna spend too much on cables either OR a cable tester.

What do you mean by video or audio cables
say the actual spec
for USB cable, you can invest in a thunderbolt 5 type-c to c cable
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Thunderbolt-Black-3-3ft/dp/B0CP8K1C59
This cable can do Thunderbolt 5, USB 4, and 240-w charging
up to 80 Gigabit per second bandwidth with TB5, and 40 with USB 4

if you think 100w is too much for your needs, get 65w: https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/UGREEN-Charger-RobotGaN-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0CQ2F185Z
gloomy creek
so what about Displayport cables n such and HDMI
I dont have very modern monitors

ok let's rewind
You need a charger: https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/UGREEN-Charger-RobotGaN-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0CQ2F185Z
gloomy creek

valid swift
You need 1 usb-c to usb-c
1 usb-a to usb-b
1 usb-a to micro-usb
1 usb-a to mini-usb
and lastly one usb-c to lightning
then for display outputs:
1 hdmi cable
1 display port
gloomy creek
Yes
valid swift
So that's what you need right
gloomy creek
i figured out what audio cable i need
5 pin DIN to 3.5mm jack male (i have a 1960s radio)
i also just need a regular 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack (aux) cable
preferably 2 of them
valid swift
You need 1 usb-c to usb-c
1 usb-a to usb-b
1 usb-a to micro-usb
1 usb-a to mini-...
concerning this$
do you want a high quality usb-c to usb-c
that supports high speeds and bandwidth
or just a normal usb c to c
gloomy creek
i guess high quality
valid swift
i guess high quality
you sure? it's pretty pricey and you might never use the speeds that it can do
gloomy creek
you sure? it's pretty pricey and you might never use the speeds that it can do
hmm... then i guess just a regular one is fine

usb-c to lightning:
and now for the important one
usb-c to usb-c
@gloomy creek are you sure you only want standard usb c
no thunderbolt ?
gloomy creek
<@1056771548805091358> are you sure you only want standard usb c
yup
valid swift
do you have amazon prime
valid swift
Eh you're still getting thunderbolt
this cable isnt too expensive for a thunderbolt one
might as well get it over standard usb c
ok were done with usb cables
gloomy creek
nice
valid swift
display port 2.1
(do note that currently no GPU supports HDMI 2.1 or DP 2.1
this is solely for future proofing
valid swift
yeah the RTX 4090 still has display port 2.0
rtx 5000 series might use DP 2.1
Ok so video cables are done
gloomy creek
thanks
valid swift
ngl this is all pretty pricey
but as you said
you might need it
so might as well get it
gloomy creek
Aight. Hopefully after purchasing all of these i dont have to replace cables in 5 years
😅
valid swift
you wont
as long as you treat them well
no walking over them (especially the thunderbolt)
no rolling a chair through them
not plugged them in dirty ports
gloomy creek
aight
