>“I’ve made a Cursed USB-C 2.0 device” You and everyone else. I knew this was not going to be ideal in the late '90's when USB 1 came out. Radio Shack was still going strong but this was the first PC connector that you could not purchase plugs or jacks for to solder your own. Also no suitable 4-conductor cable. Even though the USB 1 approach was for a 92 foot maximum cable length (since it was only intended for the low-bandwidth webcams at the time) this was rapdily nonpublicized since USB 2 was already in planning, for much faster speed and a 25 foot max cable length, eventually shortened to 16 feet. Well once you got suitable cable, you still had to cut pigtails off of USB cords so you could get the cable ends.
