Looking for USB-C/ Thunderbolt 3 meter cable recommendations (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a recommendation on a high quality 2 or 3 meter USB-C /Thunderbolt cable used for data transfer and charging.

After yet another replacement Anker cable usb-c cable I’d really like to get cables that can last a few hundred cycles and I need a recommendation.

Are there any companies that make higher durability cables?

--Edit-- So far recommendations I have gotten are

Samsung
LCom
cable matters
Braided jackets
Power delivery of 25w or greater
Use magnetic disconnects

I'm in that boat. I don't want to pull a cable from somewhere and find stuff working weird. I'd bought full rated a thunderbolt 4 cable. That was going to get too expensive for smaller stuff and handing to my kids.
