Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this be used to connect thunderbolt 3 devices to a thunderbolt 2 computer?

A: No, it only flows in one direction from TB2 device into TB3 port

Q: 2. Can I use this adapter to connect my Dell Precision laptop with Thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 Black Magic Ultra studio express capture card with no issues? I will be testing this, just wondering if anyone knows the answer.

A: I ordered the StarTech thunderbolt adapter to connect my Motu 1248 audio interface (which uses thunderbolt 2) to my Dell XPS thunderbolt 3 port. This device has worked flawlessly ever since I purchased it. The Motu 1248 is a very advanced and complicated interface, so my thinking is if it works for the Motu, it should work for just about everything.

Q: 3. Is there a split version of this cable? I would need it to attach a thunderbolt device to the macbook retina. Of course then I loose the power charging cable. or would the macbook get power from thunderbolt devices?

A: This cable will not work with the retina MacBook because the retina MacBook has no Thinderbolt capability. The retina MacBook has a USB-C port but it only supports USB 3.1, not Thunderbolt. This adapter requires that Thundebolt 3 be supported behind a USB-C type port in the computer. As of July 2016, no Mac supports Thunderbolt 3 behind a USB-C connector, although this capability will most likely be integrated in Macs coming out in the fall 2016.

Q: 4. Would this work to connect a shotgun mic to an android smartphone, and at the same time monitor it with headphones?

A: The StarTech Headset Adapter will turn a 3.5mm audio output port into two distinct ports – one 3.5mm headphone jack and one 3.5mm microphone port, so if your shotgun mic and your headphones have a 3.5 mm input this will work fine.

Q: 5. Will this work if i want to connect two lavalier mics with 3.5 TRS male connections into a Voice recorder with a standard 3.5 female mic input?

A: Yes, I would think it would work perfectly. Good luck!

Q: 6. Will this enable my WD My Passport Pro Thunderbolt Ext Drive work with my new 2015 Macbook?

A: Yes, it will.

Q: 7. I'm looking at a Display that has USB C connectivity, This display can handle video and data through it when connected to a 1 port USB type C Macbook. Would I be able to get display and data from the USB C port to a thunderbolt 2 equipped Macbook with this adapter?

A: As the current MacBook does not support Thunderbolt, you would not be able to use a USB C to Thunderbolt adapter such as the StarTech Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt Adapter to add that ability.

Q: 8. Will this work for an Iphone 4 and above?

A: Yes, the StarTech MUYHSMFF 3.5mm 4-Position to Dual 3-Position Headset Splitter Male / Female Adapter works fine with iPhones.

Q: 9. Can this be used to connect an HP ZBook with Thunderbolt 3 to a Sony Beta J-30SDI player? There would be 3 adapters: Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 (9 pin), then Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 (6-pin).

A: I haven't connected a PC to a Sony VTR since the BVU models were prevalent, however I have used the TBT3 to attach 1394a & b audio interfaces to a Thinkpad P70 instead of ZBook G3. The FW inferfaces are Apple-centric with the LSI(Agere) chip, one being the Apple TB-FW inline adapter and the other is in an OWC Thunberbolt 2 dock. I've run them one at a time off of the TBT3 as well as daisy-chaining the Apple adapter to the OWC. The daisy chain setup successfully records simultaneously from an RME FF800 and FF802.

Q: 10. I have Mac with Thunderbolt 3 need to connect to thunderbolt2 Harddisk. is this compatible?

Both devices are recognized by Windows through the Thunderbolt interface and I/O works fine in both directions. No issues whatsoever.
