End of 2022 we bought 50 different certified(!) USB-C cables off of Amazon.
We needed about 800 for our test farm, and did thorough tests before buying.
24x7@50w with 1h/day@80w (we had planned on 100w, but gave up on that fast).
3 were good enough for safe use with 20V@3A.
47 were sub standard.
We had to unplug 9 during our testing, as they started to melt.
One of them started to smoke after 60 seconds.
USB-IF certification means nothing, as everybody can just buy it, or fake it.
With EPR 240W incoming I am getting seriously afraid for friends & family.
