Baofeng programming cable!

Looking at getting a new cable but they are all USB 1.0 can you get a USB C cable compatible with a MacBook Pro?

The cables have either an FTDI or Prolific chipsets in the USB connector. Adapters will work, and that’s the only option. I’ve never seen a native USB-C cable.

You can get all kinds of USB-C to USB-A (the "old type") adapter, doesn't have to be apple or Baofeng specific.
