This. Much like with HDMI cables, USB cables (and any digital connection) is all-or-nothing, ones and zeros. Gold plated connectors aren’t going to make the ones and zeros go through faster, and you’d have to have some serious sources of interference to need super extra shielding.

Its not like running an unshielded USB cable next to a power strip or a speaker is going to make it print out a dick in the middle of your document. Either it gets the data or it doesn’t.
