    Literally any USB-C cable supports charging with 60W.

        Really you linked article is not very good in my opinion. It just recounts some common ‘wisdom’ without providing any actual data.

        However that does not change the fact that any USB-C cable has to support 60W charging.

  The cable that comes with my phone is the only way to get full speed charging so that’s false outfight.
