Adafruit's $4.50 Fixer for USB-C Devices That Won't Power Up

Adafruit's USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer is a tiny PCB that adds the missing 5.1K CC resistors to USB-C ports or cables, enabling proper C-to-C power and data connections. It passes through data, Vbus, and ground, and includes a power LED. Ideal for fixing devices that fail to power or sync due to omitted resistors, though it doesn't support high-speed or specialty protocols.

It's the only product we hope we can discontinue one day, sooner rather than later!
