The MagSafe 3 port is only for charging.

If you want to connect a hub or dock, you will need to do that using one of the multi-purpose USB-C / Thunderbolt ports.

HUB with multiple slots for type A USB ends for Mac? I've just bought a new mac 24" (2024). Its ports are USB type C. In order to connect my peripherals which have the old USB type A ends, the apple store sold me a USB-C multiport. But it has only one slot for the USB type A; I need at least three. Can I buy a hub which connects to the mac's USB type C slot but which has several slots for type A USB ends? Is there such a thing and will it work?

Generally speaking, no, that is not a viable solution.

More information is needed to provide specific advice.

what peripherals and displays (make&model) are you connecting through exactly what make&model Hub?
