Video review:

recable is handmade for you in Merseburg. We only produce what is in demand to avoid electrical waste. We source all individual parts from within a 500 km radius - with the exception of the plugs. Our CO₂ footprint is about half that of standard USB cables. You can read more about this here.

That doesn't really fit when you realize these are USB 2.0 without e-markers.
In other words: below average specs for way above average prices.
3A charging is bare minimum for USB-C, not "fast".
These are headed for the trash as soon as the user needs anything above bare minimum.
- They do a 60W C to C cable, that should definitely provide other charging modes. Probably 3A at 20V.
  3A at 5V would be fairly slow, yes, but you don't get higher power levels by just increasing the current - in fact most charging modes don't go above 3A. I expect the other cables also allow for higher charging voltages.
  Heat loss is proportional to current squared, so keeping current down is ideal.
  
  Huh? 3 amps is the minimum spec for USBc cables. They go up to 5 amp which is how you get 100w chargers (20v x 5a) and 240w (48v x 5a).
  
  The comment above said they were 3A charging and that that wasn't "fast". I haven't seen the charging spec for these cables, but they do have a 60W cable. 60W is fast charging, and is likely achieved with 3A at 20V. It's not as fast as 100W or 240W, sure, but it's as fast as most phones will go.
  These cables probably aren't rated for 100W or above. Most cables aren't. However, you can get multiple longer cables rated for that much power for less than one of these.
