They seem to be out of stock on their website and the cable doesn't look rugged. Do you have it?
Apple seem to have removed their own Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) (MQ4H2AM/A ?) from the website, but they were in stores a few days back; I've seen Calldigit in Apple store & online; they appear decent & if 0.5m is adequate are reasonably priced at $30
You don't need Thunderbolt & they're usually thicker / heavier, but maybe rugged .

I have 10 of them, some Lightning, some USB-C, different lenghts. 1m (3ft) are the best (thinnest) in my opinion. They are durable, not rugged like some braided, but they don't feel like cables, more like rope. Very flexible. I highly recommend them.

although the braided USB-C https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MW493ZM/A/ seem to last much longer than previous models & are cheaper; unless you need the speed.
I hate White cables due to them getting dirty quickly. I am after a Black/dark colour...

The 1m CalDigit cable you linked is £50. Why is it soo expensive? Apple prices?
I found these Basesailor ones to be pretty durable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QHZ3NMG

I'd just get IKEA ones.
This one is £7 and supports 100W charging https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/rundhult-usb-c-to-usb-c-dark-grey-00581107/#content
I bought this one for my 16 and it's only £4 https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lillhult-usb-c-to-usb-c-light-grey-40581092/#content
You can even get £1.5 ones but they're plastic.

JSAUX makes some really durable cables. They’re what I use for 65W+ charging. Kids haven’t broken one of theirs yet. Note: they are quite stiff.
