> I check every type c cable that comes into the house and have not seen one without any kind of e-marker for many years I would be very surprised by that. Most USB-C cables are not electronically marked -- this is usually only present in higher-end cables marketed for charging laptops and tablets. > As I mentioned, you can't get any more than baseline power delivery over a cable that isn't e-marked with its current capacity Depends what you mean by "baseline power delivery". As far as I'm aware, all USB-C cables, even ones without an electronic marker, support up to 60W (3A @ 20V). > Also any modes from 3.1 gen1 or beyond (TBH I think it's 3.0 or beyond but I don't have the spec in front of me) 3.1, maybe. USB 3.0 is detected passively -- if the SS pairs are present, the cable supports USB 3.0, and its use is negotiated over USB 2, just like it was with legacy USB 3 cables.
