I acknowledge the high-speed, super-speed, ludicrous-speed nonsense is a problem. It is one that is finally going away. On spec cables manufactured after 2024 are clearly labeled for capabilities and purpose. Power cables have a wattage rating (60W or 240W) label, and charge-only cables are specifically labeled as Charger cables. Cables intended for data have a numeric speed rating. DisplayPort cables have the DP icon. Multi-purpose cables have multiple icons or hybrid icons which denote capabilities. A 240W, 40Gbps cable with DisplayPort will have 240W, 40Gbps, DP labels.
Not in shops I know.
