Waterproof USB-C cables identified by IEC IP67/IP68 ratings
Some USB-C cables sold on retailers like Amazon include sealed connectors designed to resist water and dust, but not all are genuinely waterproof. The International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 60529 standard assigns an Ingress Protection code, where the first digit rates dust resistance and the second rates water resistance. Cables with IP67 or IP68 ratings meet the threshold for true water protection.
