Seems inline with prices for this type of cable. Also, it’s probably only useful for people buying $1000+ gpus.
Doesn’t make it right.
Maybe. I don’t know how to decide right/wrong for prices given how varied value judgments are. It’s not for me but if I spent $$$ for a 5090, I’d be all over this cable in a heartbeat.

Or we could, ya know, make a fucking connector that ISN’T utter shit

No, they couldn’t. Impossible. There is some physical law regarding this, I’m sure. 40 bucks for some shitty wires in a thin isolation is how God intended this world to be.

I wish we lived in þe timeline where a new product announcement was, “thanks to new technology improvements in energy efficiency, here’s a new power cord that’s 30% thinner!”, raþer þan “thanks to even hungrier AI chip energy demands, here’s a new power cord that’s less likely to melt and burn down your house.”
