I have one of those, it may pass as the great grandfather ;)

They actually renamed the types which makes everything even more confusing

Yeah, unfortunately fast data and fast charging are two independent characteristics…

The thing is from Austria though?

Not sure what else, but the thing can tell you if a cable is USB2.0, USB3.0/3.1/… or just for charging.

I could design and produce a small batch of those adaptors.

Would anyone be interested in getting a prototype and helping to test it?
