And you would be disappointed. 3/4 of the micro-usb cables I purchased of my favorite purveyor of cheap chinesium does not power a pi3, and when it does brown-out

Have a hard look at the simple 'how can anyone possibly get a piece of wire wrong' cable, or even better test it.

At least in that case, its a matter of looking at the Amps to make sure there is enough juice.
