    You don’t know the purpose of a USB-C cable because they all look the same.

    Tell me, what is this cable capable of?

      1. there are two cables there.

      2. Judging by the thickness of the cable, they’re USB 2.0 cables intended mainly for charging. A USB 3.x cable is going to be about as thick as the plug body. You vs. the guy she told you not to worry about:

      1. Yes, everyone who makes decisions for the USB Consortium regarding naming, labeling and iconography deserves to be spayed or neutered with a deadblow mallet.

        Solid guess. You know your USB 2.0 USB-C to USB-C charging cables. (Its a 60w capable cable btw, not 120w or 240w, so don’t bother trying to power your gaming laptop with it)
