Does anyone know the tech specs of the USB-C cable that comes with an M1 MBA?

Given that the ports are Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4, what specs does the supplied cable have, given it's surprisingly confusingly described only as a USB-C Charge Cable?

The included cable is not a Thunderbolt cable. The Apple USB-C Charge Cable supports charging, but data-transfer speed is limited to 480Mbps (USB 2.0) and it doesn't support video. The Apple Thunderbolt 3 Pro cable has the Thunderbolt

logo on the sleeve of each connector. Either cable can be used with the Apple USB-C Power Adapter.
