Has anyone ever seen a "10A" USB-C cable and can tell what their purpose is? (www.youtube.com)

The video dissects a USB-C cable marked with a 10A rating even though there is no such rating in the standard.

It would be interesting what this is meant for, as I've never seen a device with such a rating?

I mean, isn't it a usb_c cable that the manufavtuer claims can handle 10 amps of current at once? (which i think may be on the low side)

The highest USB power delivery standard currently uses 5A at 48V for 240W.

Thanks, that's pretty much exactly what I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#Allowable_current_draw
