About this product
The Apple MMEL2AM/A Thunderbolt 3 USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (A1790) is a white adapter designed to connect Thunderbolt 2 devices to newer Macs featuring Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. It provides a 1:1 connection without splitting or duplication, ensuring compatibility between the two Thunderbolt generations. This accessory is essential for users looking to integrate their legacy Thunderbolt 2 peripherals with a modern USB Type C interface.
Our take
If you've got older Thunderbolt 2 peripherals and a newer Mac with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), this adapter is a necessity. It's a simple, single-purpose adapter that bridges the gap, allowing you to continue using your existing devices without needing to replace them. The white color is typical Apple, and the 'None (1:1)' connection split confirms it's a straightforward conversion. While it's just an adapter, it performs a crucial function for compatibility. The price is reasonable for an official Apple accessory that solves a common connectivity issue for creative professionals and users with older gear.
