Only 0.5M TB3 cables are full spec. Longer ones only support USB 2.0 apparently

Do you have a souce for that? I have a 1m TB3 cable that appears to do USB3.1 just fine, and Newegg sells a 2m one that claims the same. [0]

https://appleinsider.com/articles/17/08/15/psa-thunderbolt-3... is the first result I found. I could be out of date but I can't find a cable that's 2m long, 40gb, supports 87w+ and USB 3

I thought 0.5M TB3 was for 40G and any longer (up to 2M) is only 20G...

I got downvoted, but I was right:

> At launch, there'll be one passive Thunderbolt 3 cable that supports Thunderbolt, USB 3.1, and DisplayPort 1.2, but with a max bandwidth of only 20Gbps.
