Almost worked. Sound and image issues with 4k @ 60hz.
If you are using this cable as an extension for connecting a phone or for HD or lower-resolution video it will probably work fine. Their customer support is good if there are issues. I ended up trying two 6ft versions and one 3.3ft version of this cable. The 3.3ft cable mostly worked. It had frequent sound pops and pauses and occasional image or connection issues. The 6ft cables never worked in my application. I am not sure why just a few feet of USB-C cable makes such a big difference, but it does. I still haven't found a 6ft cable that works for 4k @ 60hz.I am connecting and charging a Surface Book 2 laptop through a USB-C hub connected to a 4K TV/monitor. I have tried 4 different hubs, 8 USB-C extension cables, 3 USB-C to USB-C cables, 3 USB-C to HDMI cables, and 3 HDMI cables. I have tested each exhaustively to figure out what does and doesn’t work.I am going to include what I finally found did work to hopefully save you the weeks of testing, frustration, and returns that I went through. If you are looking for a way to have one clean 3ft cable (so that the hub can be behind desk) that connects to the USB-C port on your Surface Book 2 and provides charging (95 to 100w) at same or better rate than the original charger, and connects to a 4k display at 60hz, and does not cause image or sound distortions, and allows connecting other USB peripherals to the hub, here is what works (links below):- Anker Powerline II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 3ft - This is the KEY PIECE! I fought through so many cables that were infuriatingly problematic and inconsistent. The Anker Powerline II worked perfectly as soon as I plugged it in and has continued to do so every time. I REALLY wish I had just found it first! It would have saved me hours and hours of frustration! If you can have the hub right next to your laptop and then a bunch of cables running out from there, then this cable is not necessary, but I needed a clean look with one cable from the laptop and then all the mess behind the monitor and desk.- WBPINE USB C Hub HDMI 5-in-1 Multiport Adapter or Koopman Dex Station USB Type C 5-in-1 Hub - These appear to be the same product and manufacturer. I like the black case and green power light of the WBPINE. Koopman offers a better warranty. Both worked the same. One of the great things about these hubs—besides the rarity of supporting 4k at 60hz and 100w power—is that the 6in cable to connect to the laptop is removable. That makes it both more durable and possible to replace the short cable with a longer one rather than having to use as USB-C extension (male-to-female) cable which I found to be more problematic and harder to find with the right specs.- Wacom 100w Power Adapter with 6ft “Mickey Mouse” AC Power Cord – This is expensive for just a power adapter. At the time, it was the only good option I could find to support 100w. Hopefully more 100w power adapters will come available at lower cost.- High Speed HDMI Cable - I have tested several. They have all worked. I could not see any difference between 4ft and 6ft, but 4ft fit my application better. Just make sure it is rated for high speed. Don’t spend more than $10.- TCL 55S423 55in TV - (From Costco) Great price. Supports Chroma 4:4:4. Has ports coming off the side rather than back. 55in is as big as I would want to go for comfortable monitor. The TCL 55S405 is similar, but I think it has the ports coming off the back which means it has to mount farther from the wall.- As a side note, the Vivo Mount-VW03G is a great mount for a 55in screen that you need to be height-adjustable and rotatable and the Vivo Desk-V111VT makes a great rolling height-adjustable standing desk.Now that I finally have the hub and cables figured out, I am loving my setup!!Links:Anker Powerline II: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JYDQ7NWBPINE Hub: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JYR7HDWKoopman Hub: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M5DMYKYWacom Power Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074HDZ3QPMickey Mouse Power Cord: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V9U7WYVivo Adjustable Mount: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0155N478MVivo Rolling Adjustable Desk: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GGBHQQVNote: I didn’t go with the Surface Dock because of short non-removable/extendable proprietary cable and less power delivery. I wish Microsoft would fix both of those things and offer a simple option that didn’t involve figuring out all the separate pieces above.

Works OK with my Acer Switch 12
I have an Acer Switch 12 connected to a Cable Matters USB hub. That is connected with an HDMI cable to my Asus 24" monitor. I am running 2160 x 1440 resolution on the monitor. I sometimes have a little screen flicker but that seems to have gotten better with time. I was about to say that I never notice it anymore but it just did it while I was writing this review.. That is the first time I have noticed it in the 2 hours I have been on my computer this morning. Wrote to the seller about it, he offered a refund and other cables but this was the best solution for me. I've read that the Thunderbolt signal is sensitive to long runs but this is the shortest extension cable I can find. When someone makes a 12 inch cable, I'll gladly get that.

This works better than other brands I have tried.
Finally, one that works! I have a USB-C 7-in-1 hub that includes HDMI and Ethernet ports. The cord on it is only 4 inches so I wanted an extension cable so I could place the hub out of sight. I've tried two other brands, but when connected they wouldn't run the HDMI or Ethernet. After getting this one, the hub works great and the extension is long enough that I can place it out of sight. The quality of this cable is noticeably higher than the other brands I have bought.

Works with charging through a dock
This served it's intended purpose exactly as hoped. I am using this to extend the plug from/to a type-c dock which also supports charging. I used it with a Lenovo type-c dock that has HDMI and 3 USB 3.0 ports. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7375 (45w stock charger) and is able to fast charge with the extension through the USB dock using a 65w charger.

Extends Apple AV adapter
Lots of usb-c cables just don’t work with the usb-c MacBook. This cable extends my Apple AV adapter so I only have 1 cable snaking up onto my desk. This is driving an external monitor, usb hub, and power.

Worked but odd error on Window 10
Just received this extender and when I connected it to my TOTU Type-c hub I got a windows error, (see attached). This error only occurred when I attached the hub to the cable and no error when I attached the hub directly to the laptop. However, after testing the the hub's connections, (event the HDMI at 4k @60hz) everything worked perfectly. It even recognized my Micro SD cards. I will update this once I have more functional testing done.

Different cable sent. Not Thunderbolt 3 compatible. Item was refurbished.
What was advertised was not delivered. The cable I received was refurbished (the connections were scuffed), it was not labelled as per the pictures (it was labelled LIOO). Most importantly, although it is a USB-C cable it is NOT Thunderbolt 3 compatible. I ordered this cable for connecting to my docking station, specifically requiring Thunderbolt 3 compatibility. This cable does not work.

Works as expected with my MacBook Pro 2017 - I use the extender to hide USB-C hub behind the monitor.
