And if the cable isn't 240w as it claims, it can't be used with the 230w Lenovo Thunderbolt dock that is the only one that'll charge a gaming laptop. I don't think people pay attention to this stuff. To most, a cheap Chinese cable that says it'll do something is good enough even if it doesn't, which is likely.
I ordered a set to test, but then after reading the 1 star reviews and then online articles, reddit, etc. I'm not risking it. Several common complaints about the quality of the brand and a few reports of damaged batteries.
I've bought these from Lisen in a few different lengths. The 3.3ft ones work fine, but neither the 6.6ft nor the 10ft properly transmit 100w for my laptop, let alone anything beyond that, which makes me distrust the 3ft as well. I ended up returning them all.

I would not trust LISEN to be honest about the specifications. I have experience with two different products where they seem to intentionally advertise specifications which they don't support. One was a 15w "MagSafe" charger that was not certified (so it only supported 7.5w on an iPhone). Another was a 2-pack of 60w USB-C car chargers. Which was really a 2-pack of 30w (24w technically) chargers. 2x24=60?
Your high wattage device 240w (or even 140w) is likely too expensive to risk it on these cables.
The one major problem with USB-C is that you can't find a hub that is all or vast majority USB-C, and the systems never seem to have enough USB-C to handle everything.

Yeah, super sketchy that a $3 chord doesn't charge a "gaming laptop." I feel like the average person blowing a couple grand on a laptop that justifies a 200w docking station can figure out how to get a better cable.
For the vast majority of people, USB-C is amazing and this cable will be fine and not "overheat your phone".
Yeah, I've bought various cheap cables in the past and now if I'm buying cheap ones, i try to get ones that at least claim some fake wattage on them, but i only use them for phone fast charging. i think if i needed actual 240w for a laptop or whatever, I'd get a better option for more money. What these (albiet sketchy advertised) cables are good for is differentiating from the super cheap cables that won't even fast charge (or sometimes even slow charge) devices... basically i have better luck with fake specd cables to meet minimum specs needed 😁
