Apple Thunderbolt 3 USB-C to Thunderbolt2 Adapter
$49.00
About this item
- The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices — such as external hard drives and Thunderbolt docks — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) / USB 4 ports on your Mac.
- As a bidirectional adapter, it can also connect new Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac with a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port and macOS Sierra or later.
- In addition, it can be used to connect Thunderbolt-enabled displays — such as the Apple Thunderbolt Display and LG Thunderbolt 2 displays — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) / USB 4 ports on your Mac. However, using this adapter with an Apple Thunderbolt Display requires a power source, because the display does not provide power through the adapter.
- Note: This adapter does not support DisplayPort displays like the Apple LED Cinema Display or third-party DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort displays.

It works for my video editing
The media could not be loaded. I have many MiniDV tapes that I want to edit using iMovie. Because the MiniDV format is so old, it has been difficult to find a way to connect a camcorder to my 2016 MacBook Pro. The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt Adapter was the missing link in my connection from Camcorder to computer. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I wasn’t sure if this would work or not because the reviews are so conflicting. I ordered the adapter because it would make the physical connection I needed and was willing to give it a try. I now have the cable connection completed and have successfully imported video from my camcorder. I have been working for a long time on resolving the connection issue and am very happy to have this working solution. I have included a short video to show how I made the connection and show that I am able to connect to the camcorder and import video. Read more
Works like it should.
Good adapter. Just annoying that Apple makes you buy an adapter for freaking everything you need to use with their products. Read more
Allowed me to transfer my old movies to iMovie
I spent a couple of years tracking down older IEEE 1394 cables to connect an older digital tape camera to my new M3 MB Pro. This cable was the golden link to me to be able to archive my home movies from 2000 forward. What a long strange trip it is watching my family and friends life fill the screen. Thanks Apple Read more

It Works!!!
I could not get my Lightning Bolt 2 Monitor to work with any computer except my old Macbook Pro that has the older lightning port. I tried a generic adaptor to connect to my new M4 Mac Mini but that did not work. After reading other reviews I spent the $50 on this ridiculously overpriced adaptor and it worked! I will get another 10 years out of this beautiful monitor....so I guess it's worth the $50. Read more
