MacBook Air 2018 and Pro 2016-2018 Hub

This USB-C hub is custom-fit for MacBook Air 2018 and MacBook Pro 2016, 2017 and 2018 models. It solves the limited port selection on those laptops by adding multiple connections through a single Thunderbolt 3 link. The gray aluminum alloy shell matches the MacBook finish and provides passive heat dissipation during use. No driver installation is required for immediate operation.

Dual Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps Bandwidth

Two Thunderbolt 3 ports each deliver 40Gbps bandwidth for sustained high-speed data transfer and external SSD performance. The interface maintains throughput during large file moves and video editing workflows without throttling. Two USB 3.0 ports handle standard peripherals such as mice, flash drives and hard drives with steady connectivity. The aluminum housing helps manage thermal load during continuous multi-port operation.

Plug-and-Play SD and TF Card Reader

The built-in SD and TF dual card reader allows photographers and video creators to import media directly without extra adapters. Simply insert the hub into the MacBook Thunderbolt 3 port and all functions activate instantly. Buyers must confirm their exact laptop model before ordering because the custom-fit design only matches the listed 2016, 2017 and 2018 MacBook Air and Pro models.
