Superdrive use and MacBook Charging

Is there an adapter for MacBook that will allow USBC input to charge MacBook and to power Superdrive at the same time? - I don't want to drain battery life of MacBook while using Superdrive with it. I have an adapter that charges MacBook- and will charge iPhone at same time but not power Superdrive.

You may need to consider one of newer Docks, such as these examples:

And from selection of Dock examples, at macsales OWC:


• OWC USB-C Dock for Mac and PC - MacSales.com

• OWC Thunderbolt 3 Docks, Docking Stations, and More

The peripherals that need specific power, and others where the

data & power goes through are unique, though not rare now.

Some are able to charge only, others send data/power to device.
