A closer look.
Anker identifies the 515 as model A8487, a USB4 USB-C to USB-C cable. Its US page lists display support, up to 40Gbps data and up to 240W charging. These are manufacturer specifications; ETVendor has not measured them. The selected cable is 3.3 feet long. Measure your route first, including slack at both ends. Check that your computer sends video over the selected port and that the monitor accepts it through its selected USB-C input. Follow the monitor maker's replacement-cable and power instructions. Important Thunderbolt limit: the US page's title calls this cable Thunderbolt 4 compatible, but its body says a Thunderbolt 4 connection is downgraded to Thunderbolt 3 specifications. Anker's A8487 support FAQ repeats that limitation. ETVendor therefore does not present this as a certified Thunderbolt 4 cable or promise full Thunderbolt 4 dock performance. The Amazon US identity checked for this candidate is part A8487011, Black, one 3.3-foot cable, ASIN B09YM3V7NX. Today's seller, price and availability have not been verified. The exact computer-and-monitor pairing still needs its own compatibility check.
Who this may suit
A short USB-C display connection after the device manuals confirm the required video mode, power arrangement and cable support.
Conditions & limitations
Not a guarantee of fixing no-signal problems or compatibility with a named monitor. Only 3.3 ft. No Thunderbolt 4 certification or full Thunderbolt 4 performance is established. No hands-on display, throughput, charging, durability or reliability test. Current Amazon offer unverified.
