Ouch, bad news... So an USB 3 to USB C cable won't work for sure? And what about charging the macbook 15" through a usb hub? Is there a serious hub that can handle the 87W of the mac and the USB ports without going on fire?? Thanks!!!

If I buy a powered USB C hub does it charge the macbook without being abls to choose whether to do it?

Good afternoon Sintetico,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

If you are going to use a third party dock with a MacBook Pro with USB-C ports, then the main connection to the dock has to be USB-C as well, and you will use the USB-C to USB-C cable to connect to it.

Take care.
