This double 90 degree bend cable seemed ideal for my application. Unfortunately it just doesn't work. Nobody who gives up easily. I tried this with 3 different USB-C power adapters and 3 different devices in each power adapter. I've also experimented with terminating the cable and rotating it 180 degrees to the device and power supply. On the iPad Pro, it charged with the Apple charger in one and only one orientation and didn't work at all on other devices or power sources. I used a known good (apple cable) and it worked with all devices and power adapters. I didn't try to check the data, just the performance. Unfortunately it's coming back and I'll try another brand.
