@Felthry hubs aren't against spec
@noiob a cable with a USB C plug on one end and a jack on the other without a hub chip though? because that's what we're looking for, just a plain wire
-F
@Felthry that's definitely against spec, and might severly impact transfer speed
@noiob don't care about transfer speed, just need it to work for charging with PD
-F
@Felthry why not just get a longer cable for your existing charger?
@noiob It's permanently attached
-F
@Felthry well, that's just bad
they do make nice GaN ones these days though
@noiob it's the one that came with the steam deck
i'm not sure what the advantage of gan is in things like that honestly? does it get marginally better efficiency or something? wide bandgap semiconductors mostly excel in high voltage and high temperature applications, and this is neither
-F
@Felthry it's smaller
