Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


Until you insert a disk, it will appear that nothing is connected, other than in the Apple menu () > About This Mac > System Report > USB.


If you have inserted a disk, and nothing is appearing, please read: How to connect the Apple USB SuperDrive - Apple Support and Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support.


If you have a Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C Mac only, make sure you are using an official Apple adapter.


Cheers,


Jack
