None of this is explained in theiphonewiki article for it, which claims this cable actually serves a purpose. AFAICT it's literally just a passive USB cable plus blinkenlights so that factory workers can see it light up green when tests pass.

And yet if you Google this thing clearly dozens of people are buying these and excited and think they... do something?! I don't even. Like literally if you look at the wires, the cable coming from the type C end bypasses the FTDI PCB entirely.
