Use the USB-C port of this adapter for charging your Mac, not for data transfer or video. For example, you can connect one end of the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Cable or Apple USB-C Charge Cable to the USB-C port of this adapter, and connect the other end to an Apple USB-C Power Adapter.

This port delivers a maximum of 60W power, suitable for MacBook models and 13-inch MacBook Pro models. For the best charging performance on 15-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, connect the power supply directly to your Mac, not through the adapter.

This adapter draws power from your Mac even when your Mac is asleep. To avoid draining the battery of your Mac laptop, unplug the adapter when your Mac is not connected to AC power.
