Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. 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: 3. Will this allow the Seagate HDD//8TB to connect to my 2012 macbook pro?

A: This adapter is currently thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2/1 connection only and is mainly used on PC to connect older thunderbolt hard drives. No macs currently support thunderbolt 3. I managed to create a 10Gb network connection between a PC and a Mac Pro using this adapter.

Q: 4. can i use it to connect my antalope orion+ (thunderbolt) to usb c port on my asus motherboard?

A: This would fully depend on the Asus Motherboard. Note that not all USB-C ports support Thunderbolt 3. If yours does, this StarTech Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt Adapter will be compatible.

Q: 5. Thunderbolt startech with apple

A: Yes, this will work with Apple devices

Q: 6. if my laptop doesn't read cd can you send me the drivers online?

A: Yes, the manufacturers website has them posted at https://www.startech.com/en-us/cards-adapters/icusbaudio7d

Q: 7. 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: 8. will this make my new 2015 macbook work with a thunderbolt display?

A: Unfortunately, it is still not supported.

Q: 9. It says here that it works on Mac but in StarTech web page there are no drives or especification that it works with OSX.Do you think it will work on a Macbook Pro 2013 with OSX 10.10?

A: The answer to your question is a resounding yes. It is fully compatible w/ OSX, I have used it for some time on multiple versions of OSX. I can not however tell you definitively if OSX 10.10 will be an issue. But from my experience w/ this device I highly doubt there will be an issue.Runs great, the only issue I have w/ this device is optical input outputs, not inherently being routable. You may use a 3rd party software i.e. Audio Hijack to accomplish this. Hope this gives you peace of mind. I would highly recommend this device.

Q: 10. 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.

[Yes] Another reviewer said it didn’t work at all… which is not the case if you use it with a keyboard that inherently supports PS/2 and USB (i.e. the IC of the device needs to be able to communicate using the PS/2 protocol). This adapter is a purely mechanical converter. Many modern keyboards don’t support it, some do. Your mileage might vary. Don’t blame StarTech for this though since it’s by design. 5

[0.035 lb] It works like it should. On windows 10 immediately, on 7 it takes some time for the is to find the drivers but then it works also. 5

Wilbert	16/09/2024
[Yes] I moved offices due to a flood and the tech company lost a cable which is very unusual. B & H has an excellent selection and I found the exact one necessary to allow a backup standalone power block with cables and outlets necessary to allow the desktop computer to once again communicate with the back up power source through the parachute software program. 5

[0.035 lb] Used this cable to connect my APC unit to my Mac. Now when there is a power failure the system will shutdown in 8 min. 5

[Yes] works great a very hard item to find.I am glad some one carries them. 5

[0.035 lb] I bought this on amazon for my Mac computer running El Capitan. It worked flawlessly. Much better than expected. NOTE: If you already have an older bluetooth adapter inside your Mac, be sure to disconnect it so macOS only sees the StarTech adapter and it will work like a charm. 5

Zeomi Inc	19/06/2024
[Yes] We have had good experience with this item for several years. 5

[Yes] Looked high and low for one of these. It will adapt an old mouse that works fine that I did not want to throw away. Good price. 5
