There are at least 4 kinds of USB-C to to USB-C cords, excluding current rating (power is meaningless for a cable) and ones with chips in them.
There are at least 2 kinds of USB-C to to USB-A cords, excluding current rating (power is meaningless for a cable) and ones with chips in them. USB 3.x and not.
There are two kinds of chips in cords: malicious ones (such doing wireless) or ensuring proprietary operation (Apple with some cords).
