In a charge only cable the data wires are shorted at the device end otherwise the device may reject the charger as unsuitable.
Usb charge only cable pinout.
There are two d pins and two d pins in the receptacle.
The d and d pins are the differential pairs used for the usb 2 0 connectivity.
The usb device that uses full speed bandwidth devices must have a twisted pair d and d conductors.
The data is transferred through the d and d connectors while vbus and gnd connectors provide power to the usb device.
However the pins are connected to each other and there s actually only one usb 2 0 data differential pair available for use.
Usb 2 0 differential pairs.
Usb a b 2 0 and 3 0 cable pinout.
The usb cable provides four pathways two power conductors and two twisted signal conductors.
In a charge only cable the data wires are shorted at the device end otherwise the device may reject the charger as unsuitable.
It has become the standard connection method for wide variety of devices.

I found this solution that people suggested to make a usb charger only cable and i wanted to see if you guys think it will work.

Charging docks supply power and do not include a host device or data pins allowing any capable usb device to charge or operate from a standard usb cable.
Charging cables provide power connections but not data.

Apple is non standard in this respect but rewiring cables this way has worked with all my android devices 4 samsung phones and 2 amazon kindle fires.

Developed at roughly the same time as the usb 3 1 specification but distinct from it the usb type c specification 1 0 defines a new small reversible plug connector for usb devices.
The idea would be to cut a small usb extension cable in half and put about six feet of two conductor cable 18 gauge between them much less voltage drop than the 24 26 gauge power cord in the cables.
