so i already have 240W charging over USB-C (framework16), but it would be great if there was a way to also transfer data over the very same cable for low priority USB devices. every hub i found maxes out at 140w per port and the powerbrick does not include a way to inject data.

does anybody know of a way to add data to the mix without compromising power? it would only need to provide a single USB “access point” for that data

note: i do not posess the tools required to safely work on the powerbrick itself, so thats out of the question

    that is precisely why i went here… i fear this is either impossible with current consumer electronics, or simply not worth the effort 99% of the time, as that seems to be a pretty niche problem. like i cant even think of another device that takes 240W via USB, so the market is probably pretty slim
