lightning to usb-c

I would like to attach a lightning to usb-c for syncing and projecting from my ipad 10.2 latest generation (7th). The regular ipad does not have a usb-c port so I was thinking of taking the lightning to usb-c and plugging in a dongle that has multiple connectors. Connectors such as regular usb ports, an hdmi port, a VGA port for presentations...etc.

Thank you very much

Assuming your question is "Will it work?" The answer is: possibly. But not with the cable you show on Amazon.


The hub has a male USB-C connector as does the cable you show, so they cannot be connected together.


You\ll need a data sync capable adapter to give the iPad a USB-C female port where you can plug in the Hub.


Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Basevs-Charging-Adapter-Compatible-Connect/dp/B07Y83YXYK/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Lightning+To+Usb-c+Female&qid=1592426350&sr=8-4


You may also need to plug in the iPad charger to provide power to many devices you may want to connect that may require more power than the iPad can provide, but that don't have their own power source.


Even then, no way to know if all ports on the hub will work with the iPad. You'll need to test it out.
