kiddingguy Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I have a Satechi TYPE-C Multi-Port Adapter 4K Ethernet Space Grey v2 connected to my computer. I tried to connect a belkin MagSafe charger to it, but my iPhone won't charge [when I put it directly in teh USB-C port of my notebook it works]. I guess the power isn't sufficient. Is there a USB-C splitter available to which I can connect this MagSafe charging cable, AND make use of the Satechi adapter [not for only charging mouse and mousepad (RGB) & maybe in the future also an external HDD/SSD). Or is the layout/working of USB-C not compatible with this setup? Which splitter to use in this case?

goretsky Supervisor Posted September 18, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted September 18, 2023 Hello, USB-C splitters and extension cables are specifically disallowed by the USB spec. Magnetic "breakaway" adapters are not mentioned, from what I recollect, but they are not recommended due to issues with ESD, signalling, and possible electrocution hazard (latest USB Power Delivery specification supports 240W). That said, I would suggest reaching out directly to Satechi explaining what you would like to do, and see if they can recommend a solution that meets your needs.
