Great when it works but there are problems with some cables

I have the 166w version and it mostly works as advertised if you use the right cable. In particular, it has problems with Apple's OEM cables when I use them to charge my MacBook Pro. With my original Apple USB-C cable, it shows (on the system report) that the charge is only 60W instead of 100W. I know the cable is rated for over 60W because it shows it will charge at 86W with an Apple OEM charger. When I use the Anker 100W (5A) cable, it shows as 100W (this charger) or 86W (OEM charger). So I have no idea why this charger doesn't charge over 60W with the original Apple cable, but I plan to buy additional 100W cables if you intend to use it with a MacBook Pro.
