My new MacBook Pro came with a USB C charger and an associated cable.
I'm noticing this cable is a little bit thicker than other USB C charging cables I've seen.
What safety and charge carrying standards exist with USB C so I can know if a specific thinner / thicker cable is both safe and can support specific charge rates?

To answer my own question, according to Wikipedia, USB C cables can have different carrying capacities:
So while I can't say this with 100% certainty, the cable that comes with the MBP charger probably is a higher capacity cable, but USB-C cables have chips in them to tell the device and charger their carrying capacity.
