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

You may also look into Link cables that are sold for VR headsets like Quest/Oculus. I had one at office for a VR project and while I did not use it for charging phones specifically, the build quality is great and takes physical abuses quite well, besides being not all that expensive.
