Is there a way to determine the wattage of the included USB-C to USB-C cable that came with my 5th gen iPad Air? I know the new 10th gens come with a 60w braided cable. This one isn’t braided, which I don’t really care about, but I only want to bring one cable for my iPad and my laptop. Hoping it’s rated at the same 60w as the braided ones, otherwise I’ll swap it out for a different cable.

USB-C cables incorporate active electronic components.
When using a compliant USB-C cable, the cable will automatically limit the charging rate to that supported by the cable. As such, when using a USB-C power source capable of supplying more power than the cable is designed to support, the power output will be limited to that of the cable itself.
If you are uncertain of the suitability of the cable for your specific application, simply use a cable of the correct specification. Consider that USB-C cables and Apple Power Adapter used to charge your Mac are all compatible with your iPad.
