It won't tell you the _quality_

It just tell you want the e-marker said.

Which isn't helpful if the cable has no e-marker.

Yep, the e-marker can effectively report whatever.

You'd need proper hardware capable of testing bandwidth, power, noise, etc, which is prohibitively expensive.

I dont know how they do it, but the original Apple Type C cable is GREAT. I use it for software defined radio stuff, where your usb cable can start to act as an antenna and causing interference and reflections. I tested about 6 different brands and vendors and these gave the cleanest signal. Theyre also pretty pricy sadly. Not sure about the speeds and pd, but suspect it should be fine…

That's a great idea.
