Apple - USB Type-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - White

Needed this adapter for my dj mixer, also like that it has a hdmi port for video. Plus its clean looking.

Took a call to get connected to MacBook pro, but seems to be working alright.

Hopefully the adapter Is OK. We have the lightning version and it works well. Unfortunately this one was packed in a flat envelope With no padding and sent by USPS. It got squashed. The adapter appears to be intact. I will be able to test it in a couple weeks when the device it goes to arrives.

It never worked. I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and it didn’t fit in any of the four USB-C ports. When I put it in the port, it read,” USB Accessories Disabled. Unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices.” I bought the product in June 2020, and didn’t have a need to use it until I started grad school in Jan 2021. Lol soooo can’t take it back, but am highly disappointed. I tried charging my laptop while plugging it into all four USB-C ports and still no luck. :( Don’t recommend..

I ordered this adapter used, but the condition was described as "Open Box Excellent." Well, sadly, it is far from it. The adapter is covered in an array of scuffs on both sides and the cord has some weird color stains on it (see photos attached). It has clearly been in use for a while. Overall verdict: pretty disappointing.

Does what it's described to do. Please note: the USB-C port can only be used for charging USB-C devices. Your connected Mac will NOT see them as connected devices. So, for instance, if you attach an external drive to the USB-C port on this adapter, your computer will NOT see that it is mounted. Even if you attach a device that has its own AC cord (like, say, an audio interface), your computer will NOT see it. In other words, this adapter's USB-C port does NOT act like a thru-port for your Mac's Thunderbolt 3 port. It only charges. I confirmed all of this with Apple over the phone.

I am using it everyday with my MacBook while connecting external monitor (HDMI port), a usb flash drive (USB 3.0 port) and also charging the the MacBook (USB C port) at the same time using this Multiport Adapter. It’s gets heated while in use but maintains the temperature. I feel it is safe as I have used it for one month now. If you buy an none-Apple adapter, you will not be able to charge your laptop at the same time (using the same adapter). This is the main reason I bought this product.

I purchase all of the computer equipment for our company so I am always looking to be frugal with my expenditures. We have tried a number of the other brands for these types of adapters. All came with top recommendations and were cheaper than this one. In one year, of the 24 that were purchased, all but four have had some failure issues. Beyond questioning the reliability of the reviews, what was more concerning is the fact that during this pandemic all of our associates have moved to work from home status. This meant troubleshooting these issues became that much more difficult. For that reason we purchased an Apple one as one of our replacements. Before you knew it, each time there was another failure I replaced them with the Apple brand one. Not a single one has failed. They may cost a few bucks more than the others, but when reliability matters, you won't find a better option.
