I know they are. I think it's a mistake. I've read of too many people having their equipment damaged with dodgy cables. This is why I don't want USB-C. It's not safe.

Why does it matter which USB-C cable is used?

USB-C cables and adaptors need to be built to a certain specification, including support for 5V or 3A charging. Download the full specification here.

If a cable that doesn’t match this is used to charge a Chromebook Pixel or laptop that supports 3A, the laptop will try and draw the higher current. Because the cable can’t handle this it might damage the laptop, charger or any accessories plugged in.
