It’s more about the connections between the two ends of the cord. Cords that are only for power only have connections at the pins that carry power, so a power only cord will have less individual wires inside it than one that can transfer power and data. That’s why the power only cords are generally cheaper. They also don’t have to conform to the data speed standards that data cords have to conform to.
