Comment on I found an interesting USB-C alternative to barrel jack wall warts. Thought I'd share...

  I think that is basically what this is. I was actually looking for a replacement power supply for a cat feeder when I found this. Considered it for a minute then discarded the idea as cool, but overly expensive in my case. If I had had a spare 30w USB-C power supply, might have gone another way, but the older wall wart style power supply only cost me $15.

    These cables are indeed basically just that. They’re a good solution for reducing wall warts when powering older projects that use barrel jacks or don’t have room for a trigger board.
