    Use it daisy-chained with Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

    Just Another Dongle from Apple

    The quality is fine. Its just absolutely absurd at this point that I need this in the first place. Apple really needs to get it together with its adapters and ports and connectors and dohinghies. I’m tired of having all these dongles that I carry around. It has the capability to use 1 port shape and one wire to charge, transfer data, stream content, graphics, you name it… they developed the proprietary software, yet refuse to implement it. 1 cord. 1 wall adapter. 1 type of port. That is all that is needed. UGH

    It didn’t work for me. I was trying to get an old cinema Apple display to work on a new Mac Mini 2.

    works between dell precision and apple monitor. But sometime it has issues for camera, mic and also not get the usb connections from the monitor to the laptop. It is just like a display cord nothing else.

    Does not work with mini display. Had to return it. The lightning bolt symbol is confusing. Best Buy has a better priced home branded dongle that does work for half the price.

    I bought this to connect my new MAC Air to my Thunderbird monitor. It worked sporadically. Every time it did not work, had to re-seat the cable or restart the PC. Apple support suspected cable issue.

    Good adapter but really wish this was a slimmer profile, if using a desktop it droops because the bottom tb2 portion has weight to it. Not good for the ports.

    Note that some TB2 devices may not be compatible, especially thru a daisy chain. Google to see if others have reported incompatibility issues.

    It's a cable. All these freakin' adapters for Apple products are starting to drive me more than a little crazy. Just stick with the industry standard already.

    The thunderbolt worked perfectly for 1 year and 3 weeks. Since it was out of warranty, I had no choice but to purchase another for my laptop. So far so good, 2 months and counting!

    I'm sure this works just fine but I was trying to connect an older Cinema Display (30" DVI Displayport Model) to my new MBP and it did not work for this.
