I006 · cable · record-class

USB-C charging-only cable classification

USB-C → USB-C

requirements only: A power label alone does not establish that a cable is data-free; an actual product needs explicit no-data documentation before using this classification.

I007 · cable · record-class

USB-C full-featured cable capability class

USB-C → USB-C

requirements only: Data capability must be established from the exact cable's documented data mode or recognized marking.

I014 · cable · exact-product

Apple 60W USB-C Charge Cable (1 m)

USB-C → USB-C

documented: The represented product reference lists USB 2 data capability; it is not represented here as a high-speed-data or display cable.

I015 · cable · exact-product

Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable (2 m)

USB-C → USB-C

documented: The represented product reference lists USB 2 data capability; its higher charging rating does not imply faster data.

I020 · dock · exact-product

CalDigit TS4 host-to-USB-C downstream path

USB-C → USB-C

documented: The exact TS4 evidence distinguishes its Thunderbolt host connection from documented downstream USB-C interfaces.

Modeled role: relay

  • USB generation, negotiated rate, cable capability, attached-device support and Thunderbolt behavior remain separate.

I023 · dock · exact-product

Plugable UD-6950H software-display HDMI path

USB-C → HDMI Type-A

partial: The exact product uses an upstream USB-C data path, but topology does not establish negotiated USB rate or driver availability.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host controller, cable capability, negotiated USB mode and driver support remain unresolved.

I024 · dock · exact-product

Plugable UD-6950PDZ native Display 1 HDMI path

USB-C → HDMI Type-A

partial: The exact upstream USB-C connection is represented, but negotiated USB/DP transport and host support are not solved here.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host transport, cable capability and driver-dependent secondary displays remain unresolved.

I026 · adapter · exact-product

TP-Link UE300 USB-A to Ethernet adapter path

USB Type-A → 8P8C modular Ethernet

documented: The exact UE300 source represents a USB 3.0 host interface feeding the adapter.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host driver/OS support and negotiated USB rate remain separate checks.

I027 · reader · exact-product

Sony MRW-G2 CFexpress Type A reader path

CFexpress Type A → USB-C

partial: The reader has a documented USB-C computer connection, but cable capability and negotiated USB mode are not established by the media profile alone.

Modeled role: relay

  • Cable, host controller, operating system and negotiated transfer mode remain unresolved.

I028 · reader · exact-product

Sony MRW-G2 SD reader path

Full-size SD card → USB-C

partial: The reader has a documented USB-C computer connection, while negotiated USB mode and cable capability remain unresolved.

Modeled role: relay

  • Cable, host controller, operating system and negotiated transfer mode remain unresolved.

I029 · reader · exact-product

ProGrade PG05.5 CFexpress Type B reader path

CFexpress Type B → USB-C

partial: The exact reader has a documented USB-C computer connection, but negotiated host/cable behavior is not solved here.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host, cable and current firmware/OS requirements remain unresolved.

I030 · reader · exact-product

ProGrade PG05.5 SDXC reader path

Full-size SD card → USB-C

partial: The exact reader has a documented USB-C computer connection, but negotiated host/cable behavior is not solved here.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host, cable and current firmware/OS requirements remain unresolved.

I031 · reader · exact-product

OWC Atlas Dual CFexpress Type B reader path

CFexpress Type B → USB-C

partial: The product has an integrated USB-C cable and a secondary USB-C port as alternative upstream arrangements.

Modeled role: relay

  • Topology does not infer simultaneous dual-host use, USB mode, cable capability or host support.

I032 · reader · exact-product

OWC Atlas Dual SD reader path

Full-size SD card → USB-C

partial: The product has an integrated USB-C cable and a secondary USB-C port as alternative upstream arrangements.

Modeled role: relay

  • Topology does not infer simultaneous dual-host use, USB mode, cable capability or host support.

I033 · reader · exact-product

CalDigit TS4 integrated SD reader path

Full-size SD card → USB-C

partial: The dock host connection is USB-C-shaped Thunderbolt; topology does not reduce that transport to a generic USB mode.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host Thunderbolt/USB behavior, shared bandwidth and cable capability remain unresolved.

I034 · reader · exact-product

CalDigit TS4 integrated microSD reader path

microSD card → USB-C

partial: The dock host connection is USB-C-shaped Thunderbolt; topology does not reduce that transport to a generic USB mode.

Modeled role: relay

  • Host Thunderbolt/USB behavior, shared bandwidth and cable capability remain unresolved.

Discovery is not a compatibility verdict.

These discovery surfaces route and reorganize facts already represented in the atlas. They do not add electrical ratings, universal pinouts, measured tolerances, exact-device support, wiring approval or an end-to-end compatibility result.
