I wish they looked at actually comparable cables. Lumafield is just trying to sell their commercial CT scanners.

The thunderbolt USB-C cable is engineered to provide better data transfers, and presumably last longer than the cheapest Amazon basics and third party USB-C cables they also tested. Which some are really cheap and would only charge if plugged in one way.

I don't know if it's better than cables that are more expensive than the 10 dollar ones, because they didn't test them.

But they do a lot of internal 3d scans to show you the inner workings, which is interesting to see.
