Total Nightmare: USB-C and Thunderbolt 3
It's a whole 60W A/C adapter package, not just the cable. The adapter isn't pumping out more wattage than it's rated for.

It doesn't look like it. All of the pictures show just a cable, and the description has
> In the box: BreakSafe USB-C cable with quick disconnect magnetic connector

Yes, just because you charge up a computer with a 60W A/C adapter but it can take 87W, doesn't mean the A/C adapter is all of a sudden putting out 87W. The cable itself doesn't create more or less flow.
