Because we'll hear a lot about USB-C today:
There's no such thing as a USB-C cable.
USB-C refers to the connectors on a bunch of related (but not identical) cables that have varying levels of compatibility with each other (and are often the source of great frustration):
USB Power Delivery (some cables including extended power range)
USB 2.0/1.1 (partially)
USB 3.0, 3.1
USB 3.2 Type-C
USB 4
DisiplayPort 1.2, 1.4
MHL
Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5
HDMI 1.4b
And more stuff that nonconformant with specs
