I’ve been recently looking for a <$20 USB-C cable that can connect from my display’s non-TB USB-C port to my laptop. This means a reputable brand, 5Gb/s+ USB3 speeds, DP alt mode support with 4k@120Hz capability, around 100W PD, and 6ft+ length. It’s nearly impossible to filter by these specs, but I managed to find two cables that fit all criteria and confirmed to work in person:

Ultimately, though, I found that my existing 0.8m Apple TB3 cable had higher quality connectors (much firmer click and sturdier hold), so I’d just compromise on the length. I ain’t spending $150+ on Apple’s longer USB4 cable, but it’s probably the best option on all fronts other than price.
