The MagSafe charger was a renewed feature of previous generation Apple MacBooks but has since been discontinued in favor of USB-C, so the Magrig Adapter has been developed as a way to bring back the handy connector type.
The adapter works with any USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 port to immediately integrate magnetic connectivity capability to allow for a clean break if the cord or device is snagged. This will work to prevent unnecessary wear on device ports, while also helping solutions to maintain enhanced data transfer speeds to make it far more multifunctional than the original MagSafe connector.
The Magrig Adapter can be used with virtually any USB-C-compatible device and allows for data transfer speeds as fast as 40Gbps along with up to 100W of power delivery.
