With the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, the USB-C is only for power, so you’d connect your power adapter and display to that and connect it to your Mac.


There are also 3rd party docks that provide power and a variety of ports. Choose brands like Brydge, OWC, Elgato, Kensington or Belkin, avoid CalDigit and the <$100 versions you’ll see on Amazon.
