Will this work as an upstream cable from my macbook to my dell monitor so i can use the dell's multiple usb ports?

I use this cable to link my computer to a Dell docking station which gives me full use of 3 monitors and peripherals. Hope this helps your question

Can i connect my hp cpmpaq monitor l2311c usb-b to my thinkpad laptop with usb-c?

You should be able to - I personally use it to connect to a hub with VGA/HDMI/USB-A/network/audio ports on and use this to connect to the monitor

Using this cable with a Lenovo dock, can this pass-through charging too?

Did you ever try this? i have also got a USB 3 Dock and want to pass through charging to my X1 Yoga. Have you purchased and tried it?

can this cable be used for audio?

This cable does what it looks like it does! USB B is NOT widely used. If your audio device REALLY DOES use it yes. If not, NO. i.e. If the cap fits , wear it. Otherwise don't!

Used on Dell Upstream 3.0 monitor connection - works a treat

Bought to allow a upstream USB setup on one of my monitors at work, meaning peripherals can be mounted direct to the monitor, it works a treat!

Connect Macbook air with two monitors via a docking station

I have a kensington USB 3.0 Type B docking station and Macbook Air. My laptop didn't detect two monitors until I installed the latest driver. So far, it works well in the first day. Everything looks good. I will come back if I find any issues.

Be careful, this is USB-B 3.0, not the more general USB-B 2.0

Be careful! There are two types of USB-B, there is USB-B 2.0 & USB-B 3.0. This cable is 3.0 and so will NOT FIT USB-B 2.0 ports due to it having the bobble on top of it, however USB-B 2.0 will fit USB-B 3.0. Only purchase this cable if you are sure that your socket is USB-B 3.0 compatible.

These cables are HIGH QUALITY and very reliable performers!

Cable Matters delivers with their entire range of USB cables. Excellent quality cables that deliver the speed that they are supposed to. Much better than some of the cheap and good looking braided options available on Amazon. I have swapped out all of my USB cables for Cablematters and I don't regret it.

Preforms well

Purchased this lead as the lead that came with my 5bay disk caddy was a little short to position it on the left hand side of my desk. It preformes very well with no loss of speed in data transfer.
