> Re-asserting: no, you do not need special cables for USB-PD. If a USB-C cable can't do 20V 3A, it's broken & out of spec & not USB. You're wrong & USB-C & the Type-C connector in general does not deserve this baseless & incorrect slander.

USB-C spec doesn't require cables to support PD. You're wrong.

"Even without supporting USB Power Delivery, it is possible to get as much as 15W through the USB connector. VBUS is still limited to 5 Volts, but the current can be as high as 3 Amps."

The quote you're citing is chiefly discussing what happens if you use a charger or device doesn't have USB-PD support. Perhaps there are some cables somewhere if you search long hard. Perhaps. But again you're dealing in extremely rare & exceptional cases & sowing doubt, where I really don't think any such misgivings are deserved. I dislike seeing such unfair maligning & sowing of doubt. I do not think this sense of fear & afraidness is reasonable. A USB-C USB3 cable without CC lines is out of spec & cannot be called such.
