Hey all, I have a hair brained idea that comes in the form of a Frankenstein wire connection, so, please bare with me. The idea is to make the Macbook's Thunderbolt port into a USB Type C port. (Or at least having them connected to adequately transfer data.) Here is how I want to go about doing this:
Thunderbolt Port with Thunderbolt cable (Link) to USB Type C adapter (Link). Then with the use of a USB Type C extender adapter or cable with TWO FEMALE ends (Link not provided, I can not find one as of right now), I connect the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter (Link), thus allowing me to have an HDMI port for a monitor and a USB port to allow for USB use via a USB hub.
So is it possible for this to work? If so, can someone please help me find a USB Type C extender adapter or cable with TWO FEMALE ends? Sorry for such a crazy question, I promise you the reasoning behind this is a long convoluted story, but trust me when I say this is the last option I have other than replacing the logic board, or for me to buy a $200.00 thunderbolt dock. Thanks!
