As technology changes and adapts, so does Adafruit, and speaking of adapting, this adapter has a 2.1mm barrel jack socket and a USB C plug - you could use this to power a USB C device from a common wall adapter.
Input side of the adapter. Adafruit describes the product as a 2.1mm 5VDC barrel jack to USB-C adapter and says to plug it onto the end of a 2.1mm 5VDC barrel jack.
USB-C plug side used to power a USB-C device from the 2.1mm 5VDC barrel-jack supply. Source page states it turns the barrel jack into USB-C for power.
