Basics
- Electrical Adaptors, typically for Computer Cables that don't have that short cable section; they are solid bricks
- Thus that 50 USD or so USB A to USB C Adapter or HDMI to VGA Adapter etc doesn't die in a couple of months or so of use due to that Cable Fraying
- Need to see if they added those short cables for Planned Obsolescence or if they play any sort of Strain Relief role
- Even if a bend is needed, a 90 Degree USB Adapter etc is preferable
- In some cases, cables are still used, but then they are more cheaply repaceable than the "dongle", and also can be High Quality USB Cables rather than whatever the adaptor uses
- No good search term for these yet, so searching online is difficult
- User: Eric is always on the hunt for these, so if you find any options not posted here, please share!
