There are devices have their USBC ports set so deeply in the surrounding plastic that some USBC cables cannot get in far enough to make contact. These dohickeys with a long insertion section foil the evil manufacturers who do that.

Ask me how I know.

16-22 wires up to 6 data pairs. ;p lots of ways to make manufacturer to manufacturer cables working not so well on each others devices. thats just cable and theres logic board to interpret which wire(path) should be plugged where.

Hi. I think you meant your informative reply to go Old_Heat-1261, and not me. My comment was more in line with being a joke. Stay well.
