I was looking for something like this for my Anycubic Kobra Neo as when I would unplug the power from the Raspberry Pi I'm using for Octoprint, the Pi would stay on… which is obviously not correct.  Searching the web for removing power from a USB cable, I stumbled upon this on another site for a different printer.  

Once I inserted it into the cable as shown in the picture, the Pi no longer stayed on when disconnecting power when the AK Neo was plugged in.  It also seems to have fixed my voltage issues on the Pi, so… crossing my fingers.  :D

***NOTE:  I did have to use a tiny bit of glue to keep it in the cable end.  It seems the cable I have has a slightly bigger shielding than the creator's cable.
