I'm using a Belkin Thunderbolt cable that is working fine.
About those "typical" cables you mention in your valuable tip, Asgeir --
1)...Newest MacBook Pro machines sport a Thunderbolt 3 compatible USB-C port, correct?
2) ...Was the supplied "Thunderbolt" cable you got with your notebook, on the USB-C to USB-C (male to male) form-factor, and believed to be "Thunderbolt 3" cables?
3) ...Which model MacBook Pro do you have?
4) Are you really communicating that Thunderbolt 3 cabling does not convey power down the line -- and that you purchased Belkin Thunderbolt 2 cabling for use instead?
5) That Belkin Thunderbolt cable:
Is it USB-C to USB-C (male to male)?
(If so, that would make it Thunderbolt 3,
I suppose)
5) Forgive me for asking, but what is the specific part number for ordering the perfectly functioning Belkin Thunderbolt cable you now have -- as I might need some here.
I want to believe that the
increasingly "shady" Apple, Inc. would not supply a non-Thunderbolt-compliant "Thunderbolt 3" cable with their newest MacBook Pro notebooks -- that's why I'm asking these questions for clarification.
Thank you in advance for every detail you can provide.
