The USB-C Confusion: Identical Plugs, Vastly Different Electronics
Just because a cable has USB-C connectors on both ends does not mean it can charge your laptop or transfer 4K video.

Look for the E-Marker Chip
Any cable delivering over 60W (3 Amps) must feature an integrated E-Marker electronic chip inside the plug housing that negotiates safe voltage and amperage handshake protocols between the charger and the laptop battery.
