1. A system for providing power from a USB-C PD connection, comprising:
a USB-C power delivery (PD) port, wherein the USB-C PD port is configured to provide a plurality of output voltages;
a power cable configured to be electrically connected with the USB-C PD port, wherein the power cable is configured to transmit at least one voltage of the plurality of output voltages to a peripheral device;
a housing coupled with the power cable, wherein the housing includes a USB-C connector configured to be removably coupled with the USB-C PD port to electrically connect the power cable with the USB-C PD port;
a control circuit assembly electrically connected with the housing, wherein the control circuit assembly is configured to negotiate an output voltage of the plurality of output voltages between the peripheral device and the USB-C PD port;
a receiving orifice arranged about the USB-C PD port; and
a mechanical securing assembly extending from the housing and arranged about the USB-C connector, wherein the mechanical securing assembly is configured to be removably received in the receiving orifice to securely couple the housing about the USB-C PD port, wherein the mechanical securing assembly is spaced apart from the USB-C connector, wherein the mechanical securing assembly includes at least one shroud arranged at least partially circumferentially around the USB-C connector, wherein the at least one shroud is configured to be removably received in the receiving orifice, and wherein the at least one shroud defines an open space between the mechanical securing assembly and the USB-C connector.
