The video dissects a USB-C cable marked with a 10A rating even though there is no such rating in the standard.

It would be interesting what this is meant for, as I’ve never seen a device with such a rating?

    If that’s the case, it’s probably not even a 5A cable. It will be the cheapest cable China can produce.

      Yeah damn those sneaky Chinese, forcing Western capitalists at gunpoint to buy their fraudulent goods en masse for markup and resale to Western markets. If I wanted shitty manufacturing, I would have bought American and saved us all some carbon!
