Nope, it's for a modern controller for gamecube. I made one with a teensy microcontroller, and I've got a fight stick (essentially) that uses it too.

i have a soldering iron that i usually use with a usb pd laptop charger. even though it's obviously sufficient, it still kind of freaks me out the kind of power that goes through those little tiny pins. it's 20v and not 5, but still. also glad it still has a barrel jack for a backup.

sorry i was stoned. thats a usb-c cable not a usb3 one.

those are shielded coax cable pairs for the signal lines

The wackest rear end poo poo to me is that -- if I did the math right -- the individual bits in a 10gbps cable are 3 centimeters apart. A 3 meter cable operating at maximum speed is storing about 1 kilobit of data in a delay line.

More than that actually, as most cables have a velocity factor of between 70 and 85%.
