Unlike typical USB power switch cables that only toggle VBUS, this cable also connects the D+/D- data lines, both Configuration Channel pins (CC1 and CC2), and the shield — giving you complete control without sacrificing data transfer. Perfect for development workflows where you need to power-cycle a connected board without unplugging it. Whether you're debugging a Thing Plus, testing battery life without USB charging, or using Power-over-Ethernet while keeping a USB data link, this cable makes it simple. Key Features Inline Power Switch – Toggle VBUS power on and off without disconnecting the cable Full USB 2.0 Data – D+/D- data lines connected through, unlike power-only switch cables CC1 & CC2 Connected – Both USB-C Configuration Channel pins pass through for proper USB-C negotiation Shielded – Shield connection maintained for signal integrity TPE Sleeve – Soft, durable cable jacket built to last 1m Length – Generous cable length for bench setups Ideal For Power-cycling development boards without unplugging Battery life testing — keep USB data while disabling USB power Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) setups that need USB data without USB power Any project requiring independent control of USB power and data Tip: Pair with a USB A to C cable to connect to a standard USB-A host port.
