I found that a local electronics store sells this cable at a nice price, but they couldn't tell me if it had the 56 kOhms resistance included which seems to be the brick-safe kind.

The cable in question is this one:

Anyone has a clue?
I want to get a cable to begin doing RCM stuff, and this is the most affordable right now at my city.

I have used this cable without issue:

Bhobel USB-A to USB-C 5ft Charging Cord

I've heard there needs to be a resistor in the cable for it to be safe. Any one know how to check for that? I do have a multi-meter. I have used this cable to launch RCM payloads just fine. So as far as I can tell this cable is a safe one. At least for what I'm using it for.

I haven’t had much luck, previously, with these multi-cords. They either are good at charging or data transfer, but not both. Perhaps, it’s just my luck, but I’d stay away.
