Knaive Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 Magnetic USB Type C Adapter,Data 40Gbps 6K Video Output 100W Power Delivery Compatible with MacBook Pro 2016-2018 USB C Laptop Tablets (Dark Gray)

I tried quite a few of these magnetic USB, USB-C, (mini/micro-USB cables, back in the day). I still hope that the technology will improve as time goes on, and we will get to more standardization and ubiquitous presence in devices. I remember when the first magnetic cables were introduced by Apple, than promptly trademarked (so that competition couldn't also use them). Well, 25-years have passed, and now folks can improve upon the original tease from Apple...As far as I'm concerned, this adapter delivers on what it claims. it charges my laptop while connected to the USB-C HUB, and displays video (on both 1920x1080) monitors. when I get home and want to start working, I get my laptop out of my book bug, place it on the desk, single USB cable connected to the HUB and equipped with this adapter "synches" to the connector, and everything "comes alive". [before that, I had 1 usb-c for power adapter, another USB for USB HUB, one HDMI cable for the 1st monitor, and another USB-to-HDMI adapter for the 2nd monitor] -- current setup, 1 cable that i don't have to touch to get connected - outstanding!

Incredible bang for your buck. This thing really runs at a full 40 Gbps. I'm driving Samsung's flagship monitor, the Odyssey G9, through an Akitio/OWC Thunderbolt 3 Pro dock, so 1 DisplayPort cable and 1 HDMI cable going from the dock into the monitor. And one Thunderbolt 3 cable from my MacBook to the dock, via this magnetic connector.So that's two 2560x1440p panels at 120hz (macOS) or one single 5120x1440p panel at THE FULL 240hz refresh rate, is running through this magnetic attachment. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I have a 10 GbE connection to my NAS from my dock, and it's running at its full 950 MB/s speed to read from my QNAP TVS-672XT. AT THE SAME TIME I'm also torrenting at my full 1 Gbps Internet connection. AND charging my MacBook at 100w. This magnetic attachment has incredible bandwidth. Clear winner.In addition, if I add an eGPU into the mix, my benchmarks on the AMD Radeon RX 6900XT using the Razer Core 2 Chroma are the same (2500+ for Heaven benchmark on Windows via Bootcamp) even while driving the monitor. So, no difference in bandwidth and performance using this magnetic attachment.Finally, this is really tight in my MacBook port, and the magnetic is fairly strong as well. I can move my laptop around my desk with peace of mind that the magnet won't randomly unplug or disconnect while I'm transferring large data over the cable to my NAS or something. The biggest difference this will make for me is that there will be no wear and tear on the port on my MacBook now (on my last MacBook without this magnetic attachment, using the Thunderbolt 3 cable everyday really wears down the port over time, and the port becomes loose and finicky with random disconnections. This magnetic attachment will prevent this problem moving forward.)Overall, boy am I one happy customer.

I really want to like this product. It theoretically provides a solution for my specific use case: needing to switch between multiple video sources.I know I could address this issue other ways, but they are vastly more expensive. Basically I want to easily move between three separate Blackmagicdesign UltraStudio Recorder 3G units without the constant unplugging and plugging of a Thunderbolt cable's USB-D connector. The 24-pin magnetic adapter design essentially eliminates that mechanical wear and tear.Unfortunately (and I don't know whether this is a one-off issue specific to what I received, or the design in general,) there appears to be some sort of buffer problem. Video passes through for a while, then stutters and freezes before starting back up again on a relatively short cycle making video capture impossible. This is 1080i video by the way, and not even 4K so consistent data pass-through is well below the Thunderbolt 3 standard.As I said, I really want to like this product. There are very few 24-pin/Thunderbolt 3 magnetic adapters out there. But if it doesn't perform the same as a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 connection then it can't do the job.

The magnetic connector works great with my 13" 2020 m1 MacBook Pro and the connector stays inside my MacBook well and the magnets are strong enough for simple docking and undocking. I'm using it with an Anker 8-in-1 type-c hub that has gigabit Ethernet, 4k60hz hdmi that I have connected to my old dell 4k monitor using an active hdmi to DisplayPort adapter that is also powered by the hub. I can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and some software on my Mac mini that runs an airplay server so I can use both monitors together if I need to for that computer. This setup serves me well and allows me to easily dock when I need to charge my MacBook Pro and undock effortlessly thanks to magnets and take my MacBook on the go. I plan to use this to charge my 13" MacBook and so far it works great!

Ever since I got a USB-C dock for my laptop to hook up my headset, mouse, monitor and guitar amp, it's bothered me how far the cable sticks out into the area my mouse occupies. This bothers me no more! The magnets seem to be strong enough, but will break away if you lift your laptop up to leave. I have a gaming laptop, so I can't attest to the charging power my dock or the product can supply, but I imagine it would work well enough on a notebook styled laptop. What surprised me is the part that attaches to the cable has the same material coating! High quality feeling and a nice little green light to tell you it is connected well.
