Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid construction. Works as advertised. Too expensive. I wish the cable was longer.

Great little adapter. Use it for external sound card and no issues.

Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent !

This adapter worked perfectly to connect my macbook pro with my apple thunderbolt display! There were no issues or hiccups and basically felt like a native, built-in cable. Very impressed with this adapter and completely worth paying for this compared to looking at other cheap, third-party options.

Got this to transfer movies from my old DV camera. I tried some cheaper off brand first and had to try this one after all. Works great, don't waste time with the cheap ones on amazon..

Adapter works as expected. If I wasn't in a time crunch, I would have bought a cheaper one. $50 isn't optimal, but it does what it needs to.

Great quality for an open box item. I would highly recommend if you need it for comparability with older tech.

I am using to connect my 2016 through 2019 MBPs with only USBC I/O to my Apple Thunderbolt display. In addition to the display working flawlessly I am able to use the legacy USB ports on the back of the monitor to connect peripherals like keyboards, trackballs, printer and scanners, thereby eliminating cables and dongles going to the MBPs.

Yeah, I did it. I sunk some money into a Thunderbolt 2 Dock and server. It was foolish, but think again if you assume I've learned a lesson. As long as there are adapters, everything is gonna be alright. It's good quality and serves a very specific purpose. Without it, I'd be swearing like a plumber who lost his car keys down the pipe on a toilet replacement gig.

I am using it to plug all my thunderbolt 2 hubs and drives to the macbook pro.. works great

Apple pulled a fast one on people who viewed Thunderbolt 2 vs. Thunderbolt 3 in the same manner as USB2.0 vs USB 3.0. One would think the plugs would be identical for Thunderbolt cables but no! If you have a Thunderbolt 2 device and your iMac only has a Thunderbolt 3 plug you must get this adapter. Easy to plug in and use but Apple should have done us all a favor and not changed the darn plug. I suppose this is progress

I needed it to plug in my new MacBook pro to an old APPLE THUNDERBOLT DISPLAY - it worked flawlessly. I can now do everything with my MacBook closed on a huge apple display and also able to use all the ports on the back of the display. It has also let me connect to all my small square thunderbolt hard drives It could be cheaper but you pay for quality

This adapter works well enough -- as long as you are looking for a Thunderbolt adapter, not a Mini-DisplayPort adapter. Although the physical connector for Thunderbolt 2 and MiniDP is the same, this is strictly a Thunderbolt adapter. It will *not* work to connect a Mini-DisplayPort monitor. I use it with an Apple Thunderbolt Display, for doing target disk mode along with a Thunderbolt cable, and with a Thunderbolt RAID array, and it works great for all.

I have a few things that I used to plug up with Thunderbolt 2 (cameras with Firewire-to-Thunderbolt 2 adapters) as well as hard drives. This adapter works exactly as advertised. One issue is that the cable doesn't stay in the port very well. There isn't any latching or hooking that happens when you stick it in. The adapter popped out of the back of my computer with little effort. This could be a complaint of the USB-C standard rather than this adapter.

Needed this to use my old Apple Cinema Display. Works amazing!

Hey everyone, you really can’t go wrong with this. I am running a huge external storage system and it’s shooting out some ridiculous numbers because it doesn’t downgrade to 2, it’s more of a pass through connector. I’m able to back up Gigs in the time it was taking probably equated to Megs. 20Gb/s for 3 I think vs. 800Mb/s yeah it’s a difference!

I use this adapter to connect the new MacBook Pro USB -C to my thunderbolt Apple Display. You have other cheaper options but I went with the apple one.

Great speed, good quality product. Plug and play for newer Macs.

This was purchsaed to connect a new Macbook Pro to an older Apple Display. The person I was purchasing this for was working remotely, and I didn't want to mess around with some 3rd party cables that may or may not be compatible, While this was a bit more money, it was in stock, shipped quickly, and I knew it would be very plug-and-play for my client.

This is great purchase. Let’s me use my ethernet cable.
