It's a simple adapter USB-C male to female, in an angle, making the cable go behind the Deck, so it doesn't wiggle on top.

I’ve got a 90 degree adapter, and made myself a brace of sorts to keep it from wiggling and stressing that precious usb c port… https://www.printables.com/model/292752-steam-deck-usb-c-right-angle-adapter-reinforcement

Looks like this thing if someone is looking for a shopping link.

Edit: One of the reviews mentions this is too short for the Steam Deck, so might not be the exact one OP posted a picture of.

Can you clarify what the problem is that this solves? Your charging cable wiggles too much when it is plugged into the top? If so, I don’t appear to have that issue at least that I’ve noticed.

It just changes the direction of the cable so instead of sticking straight up the cable gets redirected and now is nearly behind the deck and flowing down.

#Where did you get this one? Tried looking for it and didn't find anything

Edit: Never mind, found it! I searched for "180 degree USB-C adapter"

I bought a 90° USB-C cable.

That's great too! I just had too many cables already
