There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

    The funny thing is the breaker only costs $0.01 to include, but could prevent a house fire. Crazy we don’t demand it in all of our cords

      British cables are fused in the plug, and it’s a pain in the ass. I don’t see the problem with a breaker that just drops the whole circuit if something goes whoopsie.
