Customer Ratings & Reviews

This works exactly as expected. I would give it 5 stars except for the price. It is overpriced but you don't have many choices.

Not much to say; it's an adapter. Mine worked perfectly for my needs. Good quality and reasonably small. Just a bit spendy is all.

great connector with great speed and easy user setup.

Item preforms as it's suppose too but item is bulky for no reason. Apple could have made this item with a better looking design.

Plug and play for thunderbolt port. NetBoot compatable.

It is simple, and works as stated. Plugs into the Thunderbolt port on my Macbook Pro and provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection. I tested the performance against built-in GigE port on my PC, and the PC was faster, but I am not sure if that was due to the higher CPU power of the PC compared to my MacBook Pro, or this adapter.

Easy to use and compact for storage. Worked great.

I work in a company that images several Macs a day. To be as efficient as possible during the imaging process, we use the Thunderbolt/Ethernet adapter to take advantage of the gigabit speed. We can image a Mac in roughly 3 to 5 minutes. The USB/Ethernet adapter will take us 15 to 25 minutes to image a device. Definitely a must have.

Needed to connect a Macbook pro to our home network. Typical Apple product - Works well and is high quality. It comes at a high price too.

Easy to use and simply works. We needed this item in a hurry and purchased it online and did a pick-up in the parking lot. It was super fast and easy.

If you have a newer Mac that doesn't have an either-net port you have to carry one of these with you. I tried one of the off brand and I could never get the drivers to work, so I bought this one and it works just great. The only problem I have is I only have the one Thunderbolt port on my Air and there is no daisy chaining with this.

I bought this in case I travel and the hotel or location I am staying at does not offer wi fi I still have this to get online. I tested it at home with my internet and it worked wonderful. I did get my full ISP when connected when compared to wi fi which is pretty standard. I highly recommend this product.

This Apple OEM Thunderbolt to gigabit Ethernet adapter works. I purchased it for my college student so that her MacBook Air would have the option of Wi-Fi or wired gigabit Ethernet since the dorm room Wi-Fi at colleges is sometimes overwhelmed and often a wired connection will be faster and more reliable.

Needed to connect through cat6 cable on an older macbook and it did what it needed to do. Yes there was probably something cheaper on amazon but when it comes to apple at least you are guaranteed it works when it comes to add-on peripherals.

The adapter has allowed me to use a head set with my phone when I have conference calls,…very useful when family members are busy making noise whilst living their life when I’m on a call…

Apple Quality, great speed. I use my MacBook Air wireless most of the time. This is a great backup in case my wireless router goes out...knock on wood. I used it to test my internet speed and found my internet provider needed to replace my older cable modem to get the faster speed that was currently available.

Overpriced dongle, but works flawlessly. Peopel complain, but I am glad that Apple went thin. Mostly use wifi anyway

I tried one of the $5 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptors you can pickup on eBay and such, and it simply did not work. After some research, learned it required drivers, manual setup, etc. So I shelled out the full price for the Apple product, plugged it in, and it simply worked. Lesson learned...you get what you pay for.

Needed this for a macbook air (2015). This macbook air is used as a tech laptop for working on various wireless & now wired networks. Needed the ability to plug into a hard wired network, purchased this & it works flawlessly! if you need hard wired ethernet for your macbook, this is the device to get!

I have a docking station at work and our WiFi stinks, so I try to use ethernet when possible. There is zero configuration for this device, just plug it in and plug in an ethernet cable and it just fires right up. Zero performance issues, but if it is not pushed all the way in and I mean ALL the way in, it just cuts out.
