And of course, the ThunderMag isn't exclusive to MacBooks just plug it into any Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port on a device and you're good to go. In other words, ThunderMag can pass through data at up to 40 Gbps (or video at up to 5K) while also delivering 100W of power, thanks to its 24 pins and delicate magnetic shaping - the latter to protect the cable's high-frequency signal. Developed by Innerexile over the past three years, this little gadget is claimed to be the world's first truly Thunderbolt 3-compatible magnetic adapter. There have since been a few third-party alternatives, with the earlier ones handling just power delivery (like Griffin's BreakSafe cable), followed by the more advanced data transmitting types with mixed reviews - they tend to be bulky, nor did they support Thunderbolt 3's full bandwidth, apparently. Alas, ever since Apple made the jump to USB-C, it decided to retire its handy magnetic invention - it even stopped short at releasing a MagSafe-to-USB-C adapter. One feature that seasoned MacBook users may miss is the good ol' MagSafe connector, because no one wants to accidentally drag a pricey laptop off the table. ![]()
