Before I standardized on the cables below, I had USB-C cables in my laptop bag that:

- were power only up to 100W. But couldn’t do data.

- could do power up to 60W and data at USB2 speeds. But they couldn’t do video over USB-C. I have a USB-C powered portable display that can do power and video directly from my laptop.

- a USB-C cable that can do power, video, and data. But I’m still not sure how much data and power it can deliver.

- a few smaller USB-C cables that came with my Beats headphones and my Anker battery. I don’t know what they can do.

I finally threw away all of my cables besides my MagSafe cable and standardized on these for mobile devices (cheaper and not as thick).

But these are truly “universal”.
