  • Connect Lightning devices to 30-pin docks via MFi-certified adapter

Purpose and audience

This adapter connects Lightning-equipped Apple devices to legacy 30-pin docks and cables. It is for owners of newer iPhones, iPads or iPods who want to keep using existing charging stations or speaker docks.

Build fit and freedoms

The unit plugs directly into a 30-pin male port and presents an 8-pin Lightning female socket, so your current Lightning cable handles syncing and charging. No drivers or software are required, leaving the host device’s port free for its original cable.

Upgrade context

It replaces the need for a dedicated 30-pin cable when moving to Lightning devices, making the jump worthwhile if you rely on older docking hardware. Buyers who need analog audio or video output from the 30-pin connector should look elsewhere, as this adapter carries only power and data.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter support audio or video output through the 30-pin dock connector?

No, the adapter only supports charging and data sync. Analog audio and video signals are not passed through the 30-pin interface.

How much heat or noise does the adapter generate during continuous charging and syncing?

The adapter is a passive connector with no active electronics, so it produces no noise and negligible heat during all-day use.

What cable is required on the Lightning side for the adapter to function?

You must supply your own Lightning charging cable to plug into the adapter's 8-pin female port.
