It’s not that Apple doesn’t want us to have good things but let’s face it, the iPhone doesn’t have a headphone jack anymore, the MacBook keyboards are some of the worst in the industry, and that beautiful MagSafe connector that made charging laptops an absolute breeze, well, Apple took it away too. The MagRig, however, is bringing back one of those fond features.
Modeled on the concept of the MagSafe charger, the MagRig works with all Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C devices, which means not only does it bring the magnetic charging port back to the MacBook, it also works with the iPad Pro, most Android phones, the Nintendo Switch, and any device that use a Type-C connector. The two-part adapter attaches itself to both the port as well as the jack, giving you the satisfying magnetic click whenever you plug a device in. The magnetic connection even helps prevent damage caused by accidental cable-tugs. Instead of your phone, iPad, or laptop flying right off the table because your dog snagged the wire while running around the house, the MagRig detaches with graceful choreography, keeping your gadgets safe from physical damage.
The MagRig extends its MagSafe-style abilities to all devices, supporting power delivery of up to 100W (enough to comfortably charge your laptop) as well as data transfer in keeping with Thunderbolt 3 standards – which roughly translates to being able to support 6K video transfer, and data up to breakneck speeds of 40Gb/s. Two neodymium rare-earth magnets secure the magnetic connection, and are strong enough to accommodate a tilt of as much as 9° without disrupting the connection. The MagRig’s male connector unit comes with an incredibly slim design, allowing it to permanently attach to phones or tablets, even ones with cases. The female connector instantly plugs in without any effort, lighting up with a single white LED to indicate a positive connection. In every way, the MagRig brings back the brilliant UX of one of Apple’s most loved technologies… however, with universal support for USB-C and Thunderbolt devices, and with the ability to perform power as well as data delivery, the MagRig does much more than the MagSafe could ever do!

MagRig – Thunderbolt 3 Magnetic USB-C Adapter for Macs & iPad Pro
The MagRig Adapter not only brings back the MagSafe feature that Apple discontinued, but by adding Thunderbolt 3-enabled, 40 Gb/s, 6K display and 100W power delivery, it far exceeds the original MagSafe.
The MagRig Adapter consists of two parts – the magnetic USB-C male tip and the magnetic USB-C female adapter – which is an ideal combination of magnetic connection and Thunderbolt 3. The detachable magnetic tip easily fits virtually any USB-C device.
To connect, simply snap the cable with the magnetic adapter to the magnetic receiver tip. It also effortlessly and safely disconnects when the cable is pulled away from the adapter, just like MagSafe.
Who Needs MagRig
Your workflows are amazingly being speeded up MagRig. Perfect for designer, video producer, video gamer, photographer, coder, editor, social media influencer and MagSafe lover.
Why MagRig
Benefits of MagRig
Safer. Save your precious devices from unintended yank, avoidable dust, normal wear and tear, and electric surge.
Faster. But connecting magnetically isn’t all. Transferring data at speeds of up to 40Gb/s with one Thunderbolt 3 cable, Magrig Adapter delivers the fastest connection to any dock, display or device. Simply snap it on and speed away.
Stronger. It’s capable of transferring up to 100 watts of power, so two Magrig Adapters with one single cable can be used to connect to a dock or display and charge your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air simultaneously. No power drains at all!
Bigger. A Mac with Thunderbolt 3 supports up to four 4K displays or two 6K displays, which means more productivity for content creators. MagRig Adapter supports a wider range of compatible displays, from 4K to 6K, compared to other existing magnetic chargers.
MagRig Adapter Design
Improvement #1: Two Same Magnets Magnify the Attraction. The same structure embedded in each of two magnets doubles the magnetic forces, which makes Magrig Adapter the strongest magnetic adapter on the market. And they’re chrome-plated so they can withstand impacts and drops.
Improvement #2: Two Types of Pogo Pins for Steady Connection. The team designed two types of pogo pins for the reliability of the connection. The design amazingly allows for ±9 degrees of angle for the female adapter to ensure reliable connection against unintended tilt. They call it SteadyConnect
.
Improvement #3: Four Ribs & Four Grooves for Safety Mechanism. 4ribs and 4 grooves are designed relatively on the mounts to physically isolate two rows of contact pins, which practically eliminates the possibility of short-circuit and enables auto alignment between the male tip and female adapters when approaching.
