Is the "Cypress E-Marker" chipset in USB-C cables any good?

I'm going to buy a high-performance cable (USB3.2 Gen2 SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps USB-C to USB-C) for my Samsung T7 external SSD. The cable I found has a "Cypress E-Marker" chipset, does anyone know if this is a trustworthy chipset for high-performance USB-C cables?

There's something called the USB Implementers Forum, basically a list of manufacturers that make good quality usb related devices. Cypress isn't one of them.
See Anker and Ugreen, they're the most common ones I see on Amazon, and they're reputable brands.

Sorry, I misread the question, I have no idea, but if the brand is registered in the USB-IF, I think it's good.

You don't need to overthink USB-C cables. Just buy from Anker and double check that it's 10gbps.

There's no reason to consider other brands tbh.

But if you want alternatives, I like Ugreen, Cable Matters, and OWC as well.
