The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter bridges the gap between Apple’s newest technology and your trusted Thunderbolt devices. Designed for professionals who rely on high-speed data workflows, it allows you to connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 accessories — such as external hard drives, docks, and displays — to any Mac with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) or Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Built with Apple’s unmatched precision, this adapter ensures blazing-fast data transfer speeds up to 20Gbps, maintaining the same performance and reliability as native Thunderbolt connections. It’s also fully bidirectional, meaning you can connect new Thunderbolt 3 devices to older Mac models equipped with Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports.
This adapter supports Thunderbolt displays, including the Apple Thunderbolt Display and LG UltraFine series, providing high-resolution visuals and reliable power delivery when used with compatible devices. Moreover, it is compact, lightweight, and durable, making it a must-have accessory for photographers, video editors, engineers, and anyone working in data-intensive environments.
Unlike ordinary adapters, Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter delivers true Thunderbolt performance, not just USB-C compatibility — ensuring your professional devices continue to perform at their best for years to come.
