I have a HP Thunderbolt 3 dock (G2). I have a feeling the cord is going bad because I get random USB disconnects.
The HP Branded replacement cord is silly at $80-$100. almost the same price of the stupid dock is used.

Can I just buy a normal Thunderbolt 3 male-to-male USB-C cord and it will work fine, or is there a chance something won't work right?

Anybody got an idea?
 
I seem to seeing a couple of SKU with the G2 ending for HP's Thunderbolt 23 docks, can you please pass on a link to the one you're working with? Also, might want to pass on the make and model for your laptop as well. Check and see if you've got any BIOS updates pending, OS updates pending and if reinstalling chipset drivers helps alleviate the issue.
