That screw hole is just the regular locking USB-C variant, is it not? See for example: https://www.startech.com/en-jp/cables/usb31cctlkv50cm https://www.start

Looks like it! Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea it was a standard. Apparently since 2016 https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/usb_type-c_locking_connector_specification_rev_1_0_20160309_0.pdf https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/usb_type-c... So for any permanent Thunderbolt GPU setups, they should really be using this type of cable

  Note that the locking connector OWC uses is a standard, not the standard. This is USB we're dealing with, so they made it messy: the spec defines two different mutually-incompatible locking mechanisms.

    Of course they do.

Now that’s one way to enforce not inserting a USB upside-down.
