I haven't seen one either but I can easily believe it, as there are proprietary magnetic USB-C adapters that do not support data (they only have 5 or 6 pins). I can imagine a "normal" cable behaving the same way.
- Dylan16807 6y agoTwo pins for power, two pins for data, a pin or two for cable detection, what's the problem with that number of pins?
- dogma1138 6y ago2 data pins is USB 1.X/2.X USB 3.X requires 6 data pins at a minimum. USB type-C cables that only support charging will only have 5-8 pins 1-2 GND, 2-4 VBUS (power) and 1-2 CC (cable connect/config channel) pins. The standard config for charge only cables (e.g. the Nintendo Switch charger) is 2-2-1.

You only need the two pins. > The standard config for charge only cables (e.g. the Nintendo Switch charger) is 2-2-1. That's a shame. It's really not that much effort to support 2.0 data.
