The 2016 Macbooks are 100% thunderbolt 3 "enabled" - they are 40GBs thunderbolt 3 ports - the trouble is they require the 2nd generation chipset to function as thunderbolt ports, and most of the previous USB-C adapters like this are 1st gen chipsets. You'll see more true 2nd gen chipset thunderbolt 3 adapters for the new Macs coming out soon. **Q: does one connect this via a TB cable to the TB port at the rear or the tb cable and power cable from the rear?** A: Hello,You would connect this via a Thunderbolt cable to the Thunderbolt port on your computer. **Q: Will this work with a thunderbolt audio interface into a dell xps 15 with thunderbolt 3?** A: As far as I know it will work with any Thunderbolt accessories just as long as they are Thunderbolt 2. The port on my laptop is a TB 3 but the Silicon 240 external solid state drive I use is a TB 2. It works perfectly. **Q: Hello. would this work with the xps 15 (9550) and a late 2012 imac as a second monitor? thanks.** A: Hello Masayoshi,This will work with a Dell XPS 15 (9550) but it will not work on a iMac to make a a second monitor. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars it do the job *by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017* works fine but the product quality is near aceptable. it do the job. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars But if you run it through a thunderbolt dock it works fine.

It could be something to do with the thunderbolt drivers on my machine though. Works a charm with my set up - MSI Laptop -TB3-TB2-Black magic mini monitor - SDI - Broadcast display ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Fail. *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016* Tested with a new Sager Laptop that has a TB3/USB-C port running Windows 7.1 and I was trying to get a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorder to work via this device, total fail. Regardless if the Blackmagic was connected or not, all I saw was a cryptic-named device in my device manager with an exclamation point indicating it needed a driver and had none. Nothing anywhere mentions a driver, couldn't find one on the site. Returning it. Maybe the Startech one is better but they look almost to be the same thing. Why do consumers have to pay $99 for a converter just to use a older Thunderbolt device on a newer Thunderbolt port? Sure the physical port changed, but are the protocols over said wire so different? And we thought BetaMax vs VHS was annoying. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/30530522-kanex-thunderbolt-3-to-thunderbolt-adapter](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/30530522-kanex-thunderbolt-3-to-thunderbolt-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
