What this adapter does

This Boxwave adapter converts a 30-pin male dock connector to an 8-pin Lightning female port. It carries charging current and data sync signals between legacy Apple accessories and newer Lightning-equipped devices. The adapter is MFi certified and requires no drivers or software to operate.

Who should buy this and who should not

Owners of 30-pin docking stations, speaker docks or cables who want to charge and sync an iPhone 4, 4s, iPad or iPod Touch with a Lightning cable will find this useful. Buyers who need analogue audio output or video mirroring from the 30-pin port should look elsewhere because those signals are not passed through.

Capacity and headroom

The adapter handles standard USB charging rates and USB 2.0 data speeds used by the listed legacy devices. It does not support higher-wattage fast-charge protocols or audio and video pathways, so those functions remain unavailable when the adapter is in use.

Questions about this item

What Lightning device do I need to connect this 30-Pin male adapter for charging and sync?

You need any iPhone, iPad or iPod with an 8-Pin Lightning port; the adapter converts the 30-Pin male end to a Lightning female socket so your existing Lightning cable plugs in.

Will analog audio pass through my older 30-Pin dock when I use this converter?

No, the adapter only carries charging and data signals; analog audio and video output are not supported through the 30-Pin connection.

How can I confirm the adapter is functioning correctly after I plug it in?

Your Lightning device should show the charging indicator and appear in iTunes or Finder for sync, proving both power and data paths are active.
