Abstract
Example implementations relate data communication cables. As an example, a data communication cable includes a first electrical connector implementing a first data communication protocol. The first electrical connector includes a set of power pins and a set of data pins. The data communication cable also includes a header connector physically coupled to the set of data pins to route data from a header of a computing device to the set of data pins via the first communication protocol. The data communication cable further includes a second electrical connector implementing a second data communication protocol. The second electrical connector is physically coupled to the set of power pins to provide power from a data communication port of the computing device to the set of power pins via the second data communication protocol.
