Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your device has a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port capable of data; video-only or charging-only ports will not work. The adapter is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch console. Confirm your operating system is listed above for driver-free installation. Buyers who need Power Delivery pass-through or multi-port expansion should consider a hub instead.
