    I know there's a bunch of engineers familiar with the subject hiding on this forum somewhere - please-please-please, throw me a bone - a link to IC I can use for voltage negotiation to 20V on the receiving end, or something like that - and I'll take it from there. Googling this stuff is such a pain. )'=

    This might help. I assume that there a chip which enables each device to be identified by whatever is at the other end of the cable.

    If the Chinese haven't yet developed an adapter for your needs then someone may be working on it.
