USB Superspeed Cables

I'm looking for good quality USB cables for superspeed devices. It didn't register with me that there would be a difference until my phone would not connect to Android Auto other than with one cable that came with a device that uses superspeed, probably a disk drive enclosure. I thought it was just a matter of intermittent connections in the ebay cables I had been buying. Then it dawned on me that superspeed requires specific design features in the cable. Duh! Looking on the usual sources doesn't turn up a lot of good sources. I want it to be 3 ft/1 m which is common and blue because of the color coding I use for cables. Trying to find that combo is a bit of work and so far, nothing that isn't absurdly priced (like >$30) or of dubious sources (like companies that clearly don't want you to return anything so they make it as hard as possible). Where do you buy superspeed cables? Specifically I'm looking for 3.1 gen 2 cables, but like with other revs that doesn't actually give a speed rating (well, maybe gen 2 does) since the standard is backwards compatible. I was in MicroCenter a while back, but they don't really have a good selection of USB cables and they are 95% black. I hate black anything because it is invisible in the bottom of a bag. So many cables look the same in the deep dark recesses of a computer bag.

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

And yet, the clueless John Doe troll has continued to post incorrectly formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on Sat, 15 Jan 2022 12:12:00 -0000 (UTC) in message-id <srudmg$vsa$ snipped-for-privacy@dont-email.me).

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups readers who happen by to point out that the John Doe troll does not even follow the rules it uses to troll other posters.
