Our StudioLive AR12c mixer with the USB-C connection going into the back of the board shows what appears to be an inline fuse just beyond the collar. The opposite end connects to a USB-A port. I've not seen many devices with a fuse inline except for scanners and some printers (not all). Perhaps an alternative option would be to keep the existing Presonus cable and acquire a USB-A Male/Female extension cable. This would keep the fuse in the chain and may provide additional protection.
