Cable charging issues

My iPhone 16 will only charge with the chargers that come in the Apple box when you buy a phone. It works with my charger and it works with my sister‘s charger, but it will not charge with any other USB-C cable that I have. It doesn’t give me any kind of pop-up notification when I plug it in Sometimes I won’t even get a charging notification and sometimes it’ll charge for two seconds and then stop charging. Is there anyway I can fix this?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

That's interesting as Apple stopped providing power adapters with any of their new iPhones. What does come in the box is a charging cable. Is that what you are referring to here?

All Apple power adapters and charging cables are Mfi-certified. If you happen to be using similar products, that are not, could be the reason you are having this issue.
