Thunderbolt Cable Imac Monitor

I needed something to replace the bulky cable to go from Thunderbolt to DVI-D for my 30 monitor when I got a new iMac with Thunderbolt3. This does the trick.

I wanted to use my 2012 27in iMac as a second monitor with my new 2017 iMac. Plugged this adapter in to my 2017, and then used a thunderbolt cable to run from that to my 2012. Now I have a great 2nd monitor.

The only cable recommended by NEC to connect a PA271 W or Q to a new iMac with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. Lightweight and stable, it is a vast improvement over the ungainly and expensive MINI DISPLAYPORT TO DUAL-LINK DVI required to connect these monitors to the older Thunderbolt 2 iMacs.

Never really used the thunderbolt ports before then I bought my 27in 5k iMac and wanted to use the cable to run migration assistant between my Macbook Pro and the new iMac... WOW it took like 10 minutes! that is as opposed to the last time I ran migration assistant off WiFi an Airport Extreme time capsule backup that took HOURS. Now I just need to figure out what to do next with this cable

Fast spinning, easily readable, external hard drive solution. I was looking for a thunderbolt option for my new (late) 2013 27 iMac. I have 256GB of Flash storage, but I don't trust SSD to hold important data when it could be easily lost if the drive failed. Spinning disk drives, like the G-RAID, could still potentially have data saved off the platters. My 1st project used the 8TB G-RAID drive as an on-location, portable, video editing drive. Using the thunderbolt cable (supplied), the offloading, editing and overall speed of the drive were nothing short of FAST!! Very glad I didn't listen to reviews saying Thunderbolt wasn't worth the extra expense. Don't listen to them...it is noticeably effective. It does stop spinning every once and while if not in use, but will re-spin when I access finder or any files off the drive. It only takes about 5 seconds to get back up and running. The motor is slightly noticeable, but can easily tuned out when focusing on work. I have it 2 feet from my computer. The supplied Thunderbolt cable is short, but I spent the extra $30 for the longer version just to have the option in the field. Everything you need comes in the box. Its beautifully made and compliments the iMac well. In the future, I will buy more of these and daisy chain.

Plugged into my iMac Retina with the included Thunderbolt cable and the drive was quickly recognized. Reading and writing to this drive has proven to be fast - no complaints whatsoever. The only thing that might annoy some users is the sound of the fan, which is a necessary evil to keep the drives cools. That aside, I'm quite happy with the product and consider it money well-spent.

I used this for my 24TB Thunderbolt 3 harddrive to connect to my Thunderbolt 2 iMac. All is well so far!

This is a quality thunderbolt cable; not much else to say.

This cable came promptly and is exactly what I needed to hook my imac to the external apple monitor.

On my mac mini 2018 with a 4k monitor, I swapped an HDMI to HDMI cable with this thunderbolt to displayport cable. Huge difference! Before, the entire display was sluggish and unresponsive. Now, the picture is sharp, and the UI is smooth and responsive.
