- codethief 4y ago> Also now USB-C condom is also available Oh, I didn't know that! So what is the solution for USB-C? How do the new USB condoms work?
- Abishek_Muthian 4y agoI'm not completely sure, I read on reddit that USB-C condom has some form of proxy circuit to negotiate voltage; I hope someone with better knowledge in this can explain it better.
