Article note: It has been hard to find these gadgets, but it's an obvious fix for all the extremely shittily implemented things that use a USB-C connector to accept 5V power input without the required sense resistors.<\/div>

NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

Do you have any devices with USB C connections that don’t seem to power or work when plugged into another USB C port? Chances are, the designers skimped a few pennies or just forgot to put in the two 5.1K CC resistors required for C-to-C connections<\/a> at 5V. It can drive you batty because some computers care and some don’t!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s why we designed the Adafruit USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer<\/strong>, a collab between our  sunken USB socket<\/a> and USB Plug breakout<\/a>. It’s the only product we hope we can discontinue one day, sooner rather than later! This small PCB assembly fits onto a cable or into the mis-designed port. It passes through the two data pins and the Vbus and Ground power lines, while adding the missing 5.1K resistors on the port side and a power good LED.<\/p>\n

Note that the USB plug pinout doesn’t carry the sideband wires or the high speed pins, so this is good for USB charge\/sync but not for high speed or specialty protocols. If you’re not sure, then it’s very unlikely you need them: those products aren’t going to mess up the CC resistors.<\/p>\n
