There are a couple of vendors (including me[0]) that offer a circuit board that splits the Pi's USB-C port into separate data and power ports with reverse current protection.
There are cables that do the same thing, but they don't provide reverse current protection. If there's a voltage difference between the USB port on your target system and the PSU feeding your Raspberry Pi, you can mess up the system's USB port or damage your Pi.[1]
