Sure, then have a charging flavor and a data flavor. Put a special little logo on the connectors. Why do we need such a complicated spectrum of things that plug into each other but don't work well for data or power?

The spectrum of cables is not really that wide. The problem is that almost none of them are labeled.

Please send me the number of your dealer.

Well that's what they do - and then an X flavour and a Y flavour, etc, and that's how we ended up where we are.

We absolutely don't do this. All my USB-C connector cables look identical, it's utter madness.

I've found that the good cables that I've got all have a PD wattage label at least. Except for the Apple cables, but I can recognize those on sight and I'm not buying USB-C cables I could confuse for then.

Yeah we didn't do the icon part. But the original comment said make them all the same, then we figured out why that's not practical.

If I'm going to waste a 120 Gbps multipurpose port on charging, I want to do it with style.
