Typically most standard USB-C cables are not fully populated. The custom CamDo USB-C cable is a fully populated cable with straight 1 to 1 wiring between the connectors. This cable is designed for use with UpBlink and BlinkX only and may not work with standard USB-C devices. It is important to note that you may damage the camera or Blink controller if there are any missed connections or pin swaps in an alternative cable or adapter.
