Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter's compatibility, overall performance, and ability to convert Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C as major advantages. Many appreciate its ease of use, connectivity, and speed. However, some customers find the price to be a drawback, and a few have concerns about its size and cable length.

    Great product but Not really good for engineering usage. My interface was clipping but that also might be a driver problem. Still worked and did the job though. Especially for regular use.

    Bottom Line: If you need to connect Thunderbolt 1 or 2 to a Thunderbolt 3 port, this adapter will get the job done. Review: I purchased this adapter so I could connect my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (Thunderbolt 1) to a modern eGPU with Thunderbolt 3. With a Thunderbolt 1/2 cable (sold separately), I was able to successfully use the adapter to run an eGPU with my older Mac system.

    Bought this to reuse TB2 adapters from my macbook pro 15, with my new HP X360 laptop with USB-C / Thunderbolt3 ports. It turns out this adapter does not work with specific video adapters, and possibly other adapters where specific data rates (e.g., video speeds) or specific protocol support is required. Looks like it is a basic 'media converter' but seems to be blocking / limiting transmission of required HDMI data, so using an external TB2 HDMI adapter for an external monitor doesn't work.

    This product did not work to pair with my 2015 iMac but another older and it should enable you to use it to connect for use as an extra monitor

    Recommended adapter if you have an old thunderbolt monitor and want to use your new MacBook Pro. Price is excessive but youre dealing with Apple - what'd you expect?

    It does what it is supposed to do but I find it very unsettling to have two adapters just to plug something in. A total of $120 in adapters.
