Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter

The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter allows you to connect older Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices to modern Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) or USB4 ports on compatible Mac computers. It’s designed to bridge the gap between different Thunderbolt generations, letting you continue using legacy hardware with newer Apple devices.

Connect older Thunderbolt devices to modern Macs
Use the adapter to connect devices such as external hard drives, docks or Thunderbolt displays that use Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 cables to a Mac with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.

Bidirectional Thunderbolt compatibility
The adapter is bidirectional, meaning it can also connect Thunderbolt 3 devices to Macs with Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports, provided the Mac is running macOS Sierra or later.

High-speed data transfer
Supports fast data transfer for Thunderbolt devices, reaching up to 20 Gbps with Thunderbolt 2 connections, making it ideal for high-performance storage and professional accessories.

Compatible with Thunderbolt displays
You can use the adapter to connect Thunderbolt-enabled displays, such as the Apple Thunderbolt Display or LG Thunderbolt 2 displays, to a Thunderbolt 3 Mac. Some displays may require their own external power source.

Important compatibility note
This adapter works only with Thunderbolt devices. It does not support DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort displays, including the Apple LED Cinema Display or other DisplayPort monitors.
