A power cable is different than a full data cable!

This is a power cable as the Black & Red wires are the power feed lines, the other three are the data lines. This is a slow data speed cable it’s not a USB-C or Thunderbolt3/4 cable which has a bit more to it, more data lines and a buffer chip within the connector.

As to why it failed out of the box I can’t answer that, and as the knockoffs are so good now there is no visible markings to tell us which is read Vs fake.
