Usb Mini B To Thunderbolt Cable

For thunderbolt 4, it works extremely well. It surprisingly did not work as well over USB-C 3.2 on my Linux machine running PopOS as well as the stardock USB-C dock did which was surprising to me (but maybe it shouldn't have been?) For best performance, you do want to go to their support website and install the kernel extensions and the docking manager. You may need to reboot the Mac if it's your first time connecting it. Other than that, it works exactly like you would expect it to. I used the built in display port and then an HDMI to usb-c cable that feeds into one of the thunderbolt 4 ports. On my M1 16 inch MacBook Pro, it handles both displays (and it's own built in screen if opened) exactly like you would expect it to. However, my M1 Mac mini would only ever output my first display via DP and ignored the hdmi to usb-c input. For that, I had to use the dedicated HDMI port on the mini and then it worked. Take that for what you will but it seems to have nothing to do with Caldigit (and no the DisplayLink Manager didn't fix anything either for the Mac mini despite the aforementioned stardock usb-c only dock being able to do 2 with the software running, I think it's a thunderbolt 4/M1 thing though). The construction is rock solid, the metal feels nice and it's actually pretty small for as many ports are packed into this thing. I've been trying to get it since March and it was well worth the wait

Works great on the USB-C/Thunderbolt port on the Mac Mini M1 to get a second display.

Excellent cable for my Thunderbolt 4 ports as well as other USB-C ports, as it's backwards compatible. Bought several lengths.

I use this dock station to connect to Apple Mini-2013 with Thunderbolt 2 port. The Apple Thunderbolt 3 - 2 adapter will be required. I also connect the main Bootable external SSD disk to this Dock station USB-C Gen 2 port. The read/write speed is better than the Mini USB 3.0 port. It is small enough to place on the computer table everywhere. It has a smart sleep mode when the Mini went to sleep mode. I will recommend this dock station for older or newest model type of Apple laptops or desktops for additional Thunderbolt/External display/USB port/Audio connection usage. It fits for Apple computers have (Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 - with Apple Adapter)/Thunderbolt 3 port. I am very happy with this NEW dock station.

I use this to connect my Mini (2014) to an external bootable USB disk and USB devices. It has a sleep function when the Computer going into sleep mode. It gives many USB ports to use and also can daisy-chain my other Thunderbolt device. I use Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter to connect this dock station to the Mini. Simple setup and very good product so far. Very satisfied with the B&H sales team for all the help and this purchase.

I purchased to expand connections to Mac Mini M1, to connect a couple external drives (one was Thunderbolt 1), and to have another USB-A available, since the two jacks on the Mini were used for the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad. It's been running nearly constantly since early 2021 (this Mac Mini remains powered up all the time). While it's true that if you bump up against the Thunderbolt input cable, it can disconnect, I have not had that issue happen much at all since connecting it. However I have it in a fixed position on desktop (so it's rare to be sufficiently bumped). I've not run this with an 'speed' tests, since I only have disk drives connected. If I were to subtract a half star, it would be that I wished it had another USB-A port. But I knew the port specs before purchase.

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.

Works great. It's an Apple product, and it's pretty much the only way to be sure that you're ordering a Thunderbolt 2 cable in the mini-DisplayPort form factor. I needed to connect two old MacBook Airs, and this made it possible.

MAKE NOTE: You'll need to buy a ThunderBolt 3 cable separately!! Replaced an older Mini Recorder that mysteriously died (I suspect a 3rd party mac charger on friend's computer to blame). Greatly appreciate the expanded formats. These are invaluable for streaming capture or ingest to media performance software such as Resolume Arena. Truly can't go wrong for the price as you can buy another as a backup vs other more expensive options.

Along with a Thunderbolt cable, this cable worked for hooking an older Mac Mini to a recent one with only Thunderbolt 3 ports, for direct data transfer
