Subtracted a star because it seems pretty expensive for what it is, but that’s Apple. This connects a flashed thunderbolt 3 PCI card on a 2009 Mac Pro to a UA Apollo recording interface. The machine is on 24/7 & never misses a beat.

I got this adaptor to use my 27” apple thunderbolt 2 on my work computer, Dell latitude 7480 and work flawless. It was just plug and play. No firmware update or any kind of configuration.

Using it to connect older Apple Thunderbolt display to a new Mac mini M1. Works as expected. A little price for an adaptor, but it's the same price as direct from Apple.

Strangely, there aren’t a lot of thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 adapters on the market and surprisingly the apple one is the cheapest that I could find. So clearly quality was not an issue. Simple plug and play and no issues yet.

Very good adapter that you will need if you have the Thunderbolt display and buy a new Mac Mini with USB-C inputs. The Thunderbolt display uses the Thunderbolt 2 connection.

Great adapter...Purchased it "open-box", However, it still works like new. Purchased it to connect from a Black Magic Design Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt to a Thunderbolt 3 port on an iMac.

As much as I hate paying Apple prices, things just work. I bought this same thing in a aftermarket version which created all kinds of issues, swapped out for the real thing Cest LaVie everything works like it should.

This adapter performs well. I use it with my Blackmagic mini recorder to live stream to facebook and it works awesome. I have had no issues with it and is a must if you are using utilities such as this.

I wanted to connect this monitor to my Macbook Pro Touchbar which has a Thunderbolt 3 connector.
Connecting was a breeze, simply connect monitor thunderbolt 2 to the dongle, then from dongle to thunderbolt 3 connect on Macbook. Everything worked as expected, sound, video, multi display capabilities, usb ports, and ethernet port.
It is a little pricey, but beware of buying this adapter since the Thunderbolt 2 port is the same as the Mini DP connector and the Thunderbolt 3 port is the same as the USB-C connector. Many times the cheaper adapters are only for Mini DP displays not Thunderbolt displays and may end up not working. So be careful.

Well, first off, it is just a simple dongle. Shame on apple for people needing to spend a fortune on this. the product works but not for the price. find something aftermarket and go with that.

Thunderbolt 2 is not the same as mini display port

It took a lot of research to finally realize that older iMacs that use Thunderbolt 2 look shockingly similar to the Mini displayport. They are virtually identical, however, they are not compatible. I had a very difficult time getting my 2013 iMac to work as a display with my new 2019 iMac. This does the trick, albeit haphazardly. None of the other cables would work, and this one works much of the time. Not sure what is the problem or how I can replicate the way it gets recognized. Very frustrating. Save yourself the time and buy the genuine cable. There are no aftermarkets that are worthwhile

Converts usb c to older thunderbolt - got an older Apple display running as promised. It’s a little expensive but it works.
