## USB Stuff

* ### USB-PD Trigger Boards

* 5V Trigger Board - <https://u.cray.io/5v-trigger-board> \[Amazon]

  This board can accommodate other voltages but I only use it for 5V since you need to bridge pads to get the voltage you want. Bridge the following pads to get 5V (and of course verify with multimeter):

* 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V Trigger Boards - <https://u.cray.io/pd-trigger-boards> \[Amazon]

  I prefer these boards when I need something other than 5V as they work out of the box

### USB-C Connectors

* Male/Female - <https://u.cray.io/usb-c-connectors> \[Amazon]

### USB-C Power Meter

* USB-C Power Meter - <https://u.cray.io/usb-c-power-monitor> \[Amazon]

### USB-PD Power Supplies

* Anker 100W - <https://u.cray.io/usb-pd-power-anker> \[Amazon]

  This supply supports: 5V3A / 9V3A / 15V3A / 20V5A (**Note**: No 12V support!)

### USB-C Cables

* Anker Cables - <https://u.cray.io/usb-c-cable-anker> \[Amazon]

  All around great cables - really can't go wrong with these.
* AUFU Magnentic USB Cables - <https://u.cray.io/usb-c-cable-aufu> \[AliExpress]

  These cables are awesome and allow you to quickly attach and detach to your devices. They support USB-C, MicroUSB, and Lightning connector. You can purchase additional inserts to support several devices. I've started using these everywhere.
