I agree. Those 6 foot long cables do not look like a good idea to me.Even specs like that don't help. The voltage drop is proportional to current not supply voltage. So if the cable drops 0.5V at its rated 20V/5A then the device gets 19.5V (a 2.5% drop) which it is happy with. However it would also drop 0.5V for a 5V/5A leaving only 4.5V for the device at a large 10% drop.Yes, search for USB-C PD 5A cable... lots on Amazon. For example https://www.amazon.ca/Charging-JSAUX-Br ... r=1-6&th=1Is there a USB-C cable that can supply 5+ amps?
Pedantically it is not supplying anything, it is capable of safety carrying 5A
We are supposed to have consumer protection regulations yet a lot of things like this are not specified correctly so you end up buying blind. They should be forced to give a resistance specification - and any manufacturer who trusts their product should already be doing that - why wouldn't they?.
