USB-C is kinda sorta hermaphroditic.

When USB-C-compliant devices are connected, they have to negotiate which side is upstream and which is downstream. So yes, they're hermaphroditic, just like snails.

In contrast, the non-compliant USB A-to-A cable that Ugreen uses with its own devices is closer to hyenas. If you know, you know... and don't you wish you didn't.

My mpcie to pcie x4 adaptor uses an A-to-A cable, also says on the board to not plug in USB devices. :D
