Port-Expanding USB Keys

The Satechi USB Type-C Adapter Expands Computer Port Functionality

Apple has a track record of incorporating new data transfer ports as early as possible before the market (and users) has a chance to catch up, so the Satechi USB Type-C Adapter is designed to make the new port type less invasive.

While the new MacBook is indeed one of the thinnest and lightest designs that Apple has ever made, the device had to shed certain functionality in order to be that way. As such, the Satechi USB Type-C Adapter is designed to help expand the USB Type-C port by plugging in and transforming it into a card reader.

Working with both microSD and SD cards, the adapter provides affordable functionality that comes in colors to match devices seamlessly.
