Some Cable Matters Type-C cables are USB-IF certified but not these.

Not slick. It was $6.01 earlier in the month for the same set of cables.

What could you connect USB-C at 240W? Toaster oven or something?
Also most charging cables are just charging cable right, not meant for data, so can't use for PD and Data for USB-C monitor?

Usually meant for the laptops that are (or can be) powered via USB C.

This particular one is a USB 2 cable meant for really charging only or really slow data transfer. There are faster USB C cables.

I really wish there were conspicuous labels on these cables to specify the data speed and the max wattage. I do understand that some USB 3 USB C cable do have a little label that says USB 3, but the graphic is not prominent enough and not the industry standard.

This has been mention in countless forums and reddit subs. USB industry is really taking advantage of this by making it very easy to sell cheaper, slower (data and/or charging), cables alongside better ones. It's really a shame there isn't a true standard, and here we thought the cable fragmants was finally over with everyone being forced to adapt USB C. Where is the e waste reduction act? What's the point when people have to keep buying cheap cables realizing they are too slow and buying another cable for another purpose and so on...

Why do folks even sell non-braided cables these days? Night and day difference in convenience and durability... Oh well.
