    My apple monitor uses the old display port, so when I got my new Macbook I completely forgot that they switched to USB-C. Very easy to use and I like that it doesn't dangle too much when plugged in.

    It's an Apple product for a Apple computer. Or course it works perfectly right out of the box. Just had to be sure I had the right connections.

    Worked perfectly to connect a 2013 Thunderbolt 2 iMac to a 2016 Thunderbolt 3. Used Target disk mode without issues. Keep in mind you will also need a proper Thunderbolt 3 (not just a USB-C charging cable that ships with new Macs).

    Works as advertised - a must if you have the newest Macs that only have USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) ports. I prefer Apple brand for this sort of adapter because of the "guaranteed-to-work" nature of staying within the brand.

    Works great with a new Mac mini and old Cinema thunderbolt display. It's a little pricey but works seamlessly, including the mic, webcam, and USB connections. I tried generic ones but they don't really work.

    Using this to "hardwire" into the back of my Apple Studio Display which is (connected to a MacBook Pro) is much faster than using Wifi. So far so good.

    USB-C to Thunderbolt

    USB-C is not mainstream yet on Mac's so this is the only way to get Thunderbolt drives on new MacBook Pro's. Also you can daisy chain a Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 adapter to get older FireWire drives to work on newer MacBook Pro's. Worked like a charm on both applications.

    Got this when I upgraded my mac to the 2019 Pro version so no more old thunder bolt cables could be used without this adapter. This works well. Expensive but that is what you get for going with apple products.

    Expensive, but this does exactly what I needed it to do. Have a Drobo Raid array that uses Thunderbolt, and needed to connect it directly to my 2019 MacBook Pro. Works like a charm, and the speed is better than I expected.
