Hey all, I'm just starting to look for a 90 Degree adapter or adapter cable that support fulling USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt. Seems like it should be a simple thing to find. However, I'm not really having any luck finding one. Seem most will support Charging and USB 3.0 and LAN, but they all state don't try to use Ext Hard drives or Docking stations. So how much sense does this make?
I've just purchased a Dell Inspiration 13 7386 it has a USB C connection on each side. When I look at the cable to my Docking station, I'm thinking this connection is going to last a few months at best with that stiff cable sticking straight out either side of my new notebook. Much better it makes a 90 and goes straight out the back of this notebook. I did see one on Amazon that said it supported Thunderbolt III all Video resolutions USB 3.1 gen 1 and 2, it even was showing 5 stars, however, sold out and not sure these will ever return??? to me this means it was probably pulled do to false advertising? Anyone out there with real-time experience on this issue I really only need to run 4 full power USB 3.0 slots with one well with this little notebook I'll need to run two external USB 3.0 WD Passport in the 2tb to 4 TB version. and have LAN connection. that is what I need, however, I have spent a $200 on a Dell Docking station with a 130-watt power supply with all the Video USB 3.1 Etc, That I would like to use as this would also get me away from the straight out the back right side of the notebook charging cable.
I don't know People am I asking for too much to want to get these stiff cables going straight to the rear of my 2-1 notebook rather than straight out the sides where they are going to get bumped into and pushed around which we all know is going to damage the USB C ports on my notebook

Starlight5 Yes, I'm a cat. What else is there to say, really?
@Clintlgm did you try the cheap ones from eBay? I personally use angled adapters for USB3.0, they're very good - but then again, I didn't try pumping 65W through them, or whatever it is your docking station supplying to laptop. Just give it a try, I guess - it'll either work, or it won't.

Yes, I picked up two different ones to try out. I can't find any that say they'll work with a docking station. one is just a straight up Angle adapter the other is my preference Male 90 Female with about a 6" cable. I had to heat up the cable to shape it so that it wouldn't put pressure on the Power block connector where they crossed. I have gotten the 2-1 and setting it up. its tiny but I think I can get used to only packing around 3 LBS

Hard 90 seems to be working since I now know more about this little notebook My C port is only USB C with display port. So voltages required are less than would have been needed for a C port that was Thunderbolt II or III would requireStarlight5 likes this.
USB C Male to USB C Female 90 Degree Adapters or Cables
