They may work just fine, but you can't be sure, and supporting them has a bad influence on the whole USB-C world. The following list includes the brands which are known to do this often. This includes false advertisement, lying about certifications, and providing ambiguous information on product pages.

This sub is still small, so feel free to subscribe and maybe submit a post with your favorite USB Type C gadget! I have a small USB hub attached behind my monitor to replace the convenient USB ports I would get from an Apple Display.USB-C Hardware A subreddit dedicated to the sharing of hardware that uses USB Type-C. My monitor, external hard drive, network, etc all connect to the dock, and I have a single Thunderbolt (USB-C) cable from the Dock. Yes this might be a bit more unsightly than your current two cables, but should be simple to accomplish, and can be as easily well hidden as your current setup.Ģ) I have found great success in using a Thunderbolt (now UBS-C) docking port, hidden away under my desk. Therefore, you can simply add a USB-C power adapter (plugged into the wall/mains) and run the cable alongside your Thunderbolt cable from the monitor. I presume they figure customers would rather buy a new monitor?ġ) Fortunately for you, the Magsafe power cable from the Thunderbolt display is Single Purpose: it only supplies power. That Apple would not consider this to be a scenario work resolving is to me a bit of a mystery: nearly every Thunderbolt Display customer would require such an adapter for their new macbook. This is why you are having difficulty finding any: There are no 3rd party solutions here. The Apple MagSafe connector is proprietary to Apple. See for a nice consumer overview of why USB PD 2.0 is a good standard for charging going forward.
Not to be contrarian, but you would come out better if you sold your existing MagSafe adapters and bought USB-C PD adapters. Note 2: User bmike adds that you should be sure to get a USB-C cable that supports power delivery the one I linked to does. Note: Just about any USB to USB-C cable will work here, just look for one with a Benson seal of approval like the one I linked. I have personally used the linked cable it works just fine charging my usb-c devices.

This is a safer, simpler, more reliable, and less warranty-voiding way to charge your 2016 MacBook Pro directly from a monitor (like the Apple Cinema or Thunderbolt displays) without using up another outlet for your laptop power supply (or spending nearly $100 on a new power adapter and cable from Apple). However, you can easily plug an inexpensive USB to USB-C cable into a standard USB port on the back of your Thunderbolt Display and charge your USB-C MacBook from there. Even if it were made, your MacBook would likely detect it as a fake charger and stop itself from charging like iOS devices do. Such a product can not exist: Apple has patented MagSafe technology and thus such a product would be illegal.
