It's a simple adapter USB-C male to female, in an angle, making the cable go behind the Deck, so it doesn't wiggle on top.

And I LOVE that USB-C is uni-directional.

I tend to buy 90° connectors for all the things and it's such a treat that USB-C is well designed.

It's clearly bi-directional.

Bi-directional?

There’s also a massive scandal with USB c now that more devices and phones are using higher wattages and the vast majority of cables on the market are e-waste that doesn’t meet the actual USB-C specification.

While that’s not the fault of the spec designers, one could argue that the massive failure to regulate has resulted in fire risks in every home.
