The thunderbolt licensing is pretty strict, so I'm not sure anyone is selling knock off thunderbolt cables that underperform the rated specs.


Oh you'll be surprised at the kind of cheaping out products on AliExpress can achieve


I bought an USB-C to Magsafe 2 (for my 2015 mbp) cable off AliExpress to cut down on having a device-specific charger just for it.

It works for exactly one second and it fails.

It was SO BAD that AliExpress emailed me that "this product is a counterfeit and you should ask for a refund" :D
