## Overview

The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is a bidirectional adapter that enables seamless connection between Thunderbolt 3 devices and Macs with Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports. It supports high-speed data transfer up to 40Gbps and is compatible with Apple Thunderbolt and LG Thunderbolt 2 displays. Designed for macOS Sierra or later, it requires external power when used with Apple Thunderbolt Displays and does not support DisplayPort-only monitors.

## Description

This bidirectional adapter connects Thunderbolt 3 devices to Macs with Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 ports, enabling compatibility with Thunderbolt displays.

Review: Worth Buying The Apple Version. - Excellent product and what you expect from Apple. More expensive than third party versions and works well converting from thunderbolt 2 to USB-C/thunderbolt 3 for a docking station.
Review: Great value - I bought this for my Apple 27” Thunderbolt Display. It works just as it should, perfect fit - recommended.

## Features

- 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. For more information, visit the Apple Support page for the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.
