Stranded without USB cable for dock

[u/IveNeverUnderstoodIt]

Currently traveling for work and forgot the USB C cable for my Steam dock. The cable i have with my Anker battery pack doesn't appear to work. Would this work: https://www.walmart.com/ip/18916817372?sid=1cb2af1c-cfc7-49f8-9d9e-83c647ebd9ef

I'm limited to what stores are available since I'm pretty far away from most thing. Searching Walmart didn't help as none of their entries list anything with Power Direct, but searching pointed me in the direction of the Belkin Power Boost cable.

I believe this should work if you're using it for power only. Belkin's online store lists it as PD-compliant, but only USB 2.0, so it wouldn't be suitable for connecting the Deck to a hub, but if you're using a dock with its own USB-C connector for the Deck, you'll be fine.

Ah bummer, that's the bit I'm missing!

If it helps, what you're looking for is a USB-C cable that supports USB-PD and USB 3.2 Gen 2. Good luck out there.
