Perhaps ask when you purchase an adapter (USB-C) for one

which allows 'pass-through power & data.' May be worth it.

Anything less and you've already been there.

The cable/adapter connections suggested in

this article may be an answer. Hopefully so.

..Since 'my antiques' haven't need for fancy

stuff, guess I'm OK until my ship comes in..

Good luck & happy trails!🌻
