just don't buy cables from generic or awful brands, you can go with some reputable ones like cablematters,startech, caldigit, or satechi, also you can check USB-IF members. For other cables like displayport, just buy only certified cables that can be checked on displayport site, before buying any.
same for thunderbolt, etc.
you may pay a bit more, but they will comply the specs and be higher quality than the other generic brands.
