The TS80 kit evidently includes a nice one, but it can't be ordered separately (AFAIK) and is an A-to-C cable, and I'd want C-to-C to use PD.
For that matter, does anyone make a silicone barrel-style power cable? That would be easy enough to adapt, I'd think .
EDIT: This looks promising--a 2m silicone USB C-to-C cable for under $5 shipped on Aliexpress. Granted, it could be absolute crap, and I'll probably be vaccinated before it shows up, but hey ... promising.
I bought a couple of the USB-C silicone cables from Pine64 store , real value at about $3.50 each. they are flexible and heat resistant. It did not increase the $11.99 shipping cost to include them and I regret not getting more at the time. Will definitely order more of them when I do another pine64 order.
