Are all USB C cables same?

[Yelamanchili manohar]

Just about any cable is perfectly okay starting at 300 rupees.

thats for the rich folks ...

Well. Just make sure it supports data and you are good to go.

For e.g. I bought https://amzn.in/d/9SppBUH to connect my Kali's to my PC. they work perfectly. Now using the same to connect my DSP.

I don't know what kind of "fast" charging it supports since I haven't used it with my phone charger.

Not all USB-C cables are the same. While they may look similar, there are differences between them.

First, data transfer speeds. USB-C cables can support different data transfer speeds, such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 3.1, USB 3.2, and Thunderbolt 3 or 4. Higher versions generally provide faster data transfer rates.

Next is power delivery. Some USB-C cables support higher power delivery to charge devices. Each cable may support different wattages, which affects how quickly it can charge a device.

Then there is video output. Not all USB-C cables support video output.

Finally, there is the build quality that everyone mentioned earlier. The materials and construction of USB-C cables may vary, affecting durability and flexibility.

Oh, and there are also some compatibility differences.

Thanks. Could you expand on this, if possible? Why do OEM cables work with a device and some extra market cables don’t?
