alt Hacker NewsI believe USB C cables actually do have an orientation - it's just that the negotiation both ends do usually makes that orientation irrelevant.
Maybe the negotiation can fail & the plugged in orientation is then the only one that works?

USB-C only has an "intrinsic" orientation because we call one set of pins "1" and the other "2". Electrically there should be no difference.
