Well, the worst is USB cables.
You're buying a pig in a poke there.

I was just at the "big box" store looking at their assortment of USB cables.
The majority of them are USB 2.0 only but you have to look at the fine print to see that.
Even the USB 3.x ones you can never tell if they mean 2 pair or 4 pair (+ the pair for USB 2.0)
The biggest competition is for Watts.
It seems that people need 100 Watt cables for their phones.

Even at Micro Center in the US (somewhat techy) is finding out how many wires in a USB cable almost impossible.

The best way is to bring a pair of scissors to the store, but they frown on that.

I need to swap the hardwired USB C cable on my ethernet/USB/HDMI hub and getting a 5 pair cable is not a matter of speed but of even working.
