The cable can still be a fire hazard if it’s a cheap cable that lies about its rated wattage, no?

  That goes for anything that lies about its rating though

    Right but consumers are much more likely to buy a cheap USB charge cable that lies about its rating (via internal chip) than an Ethernet cable that lies about its rating on the package.

      It doesn’t seem to be a huge problem with extension cords.

  Do ethernet cables even specify a wattage?
