Anyone who needs more power, The 100W 333s are 2 6' for $15.19 with 5% coupon https://a.co/d/id345Pt . Note the warranty on those is either 2yrs or lifetime, it's hard to say from the Anker warranty page....
Correct. The majority of cables meant for charging only have USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, since they're cheaper to manufacture and most customers will only use them to charge their devices. You can get cables that are capable of both higher wattage charging and the fastest USB data transfer speeds, but they're more expensive. It's cheaper to just get two cables, one for charging and one for data transfer, unless you have a specific use case for both simultaneously (like display output and charging simultaneously from a laptop USB 4 port).

So these are USB 2.0, which means slower data transfer right? USB-C is simply another means of connection, right?
These are more geared for charging instead?

Yeah these are charging cables. High wattage, low data rate.
240W 40Gbps cables are starting to show up, but cost a lot more.
This has lifetime warranty too. They have a great customer service. I had one of cables replaced after two years.
I tried to contact them thru various ways and not a single response to my cord. I expected more from them as I have boughten so many cables and expected more and glad to hear that someone had a good experience

I personally had a really good experience with their customer service. My dog caught my 10ft USB-C cord running around playing and the tip bent and was essentially ready to be broken off on the end. Emailed customer support, all they asked for was a picture of the end of the cord with serial # on it and they mailed me a replacement no questions asked that got here within 4-5 days. Had purchased the cable 2+ years ago on Amazon as well.

I feel like I've fallen behind on charging cable technology lol. I remember a simpler time, when a flip phone could last for days without needing to charge and a case was very optional, rather than almost necessary. We charged our phone with a black brick of a charger and a barrel connector! Haha
Now I gotta look at things like "Iq" and "PD" and charging watts.
Thanks for the pointers!

You have to have a smart phone to get the 5 for $5 Arby's deal nowadays.

I remember those days, as well lol. My old Nokia was great for being near indestructible and playing snake.
BTW, these days the only charging standard you need to look for in a charger is PD. Just about every modern phone uses PD. IQ is just Anker's marketing term for chargers that work with both PD (Power Delivery) and QC (QuickCharge). Pretty much every manufacture has switched to PD for all but their lowest end devices. All PD chargers and devices already work with QC, so the PowerIQ branding is irrelevant. PD is the standard that all manufacturers are switching to, just like USB-C is the port every manufacture has already switched to, or is soon switching to (even iPhones).

How do you discern between them physically which is for charging and data? Do they mark them with data speed and/or wattage on the cable itself?
