If I am picturing what you're saying correctly, then I would think no. The capacitor and transformer won't be in the correct location. The USB-C port (female) is an output port for power and as such is engineered and manufactured that way with the electronic components on-board to protect the rest of the board, i.e. resistor, capacitor, transformer set up in a specific directional alignment. On the left side are the USB-C (male) connectors. These are also set up to allow power-in via a specific direction. I am not saying absolutely no, but it is a very high probability no. You could try it, and if it doesn't work you could always return it. The voltage won't be high enough if you place a single device on the dock for a test.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
