StarTech.com Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt Adapter - TBT3TBTADAP

Der Adapter macht seinen Job hervorragend, allerdings so gut, dass gewisse Einschränkungen und Schutzmechanismen von Windows greifen und man diese nur schwer umgehen kann. Ich verwende ihn beispielsweise um einen Apple Thunderbolt2-Firewire800 Adapter an meinem Thunderbolt 3 Anschluss zu verwenden. Das Problem dabei: es ist ein Apple-Produkt und kein PC-zertifiziertes Produkt und das gibt - obwohl es funktioniert - eine Fehlermeldung. Weiters sträubt sich Windows auch gegen die Nutzung der Treiber von Geräten, die über eine solche Verbindung verwendet werden sollen. Denn - das war ja nie vom Hersteller so vorhergesehen und deswegen sind die Treiber in dieser Art nicht signiert bzw zeritifziert. Erst wenn man diese Prüfung durch Windows deaktiert, kann man diese Geräte auch nutzen. Ein bissl zach aber es klappt und der Adapter funkioniert einwandfrei!

Fonctionne parfaitement, même en chaînant deux périphériques l'un derrière l'autre (dans mon cas deux Pegasus R6) Très satisfait, je recommande!

Indispensabile per collegare schede audio in Windows 10 (64b). Utilizzato con la scheda audio "Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core" tramite scheda PCIe ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC R2 (tra l'altro introvabile 🤔) e assemblata nella motherboard ASRock X 570 Taichi. Una volta collegato (acquistato anche un cavo thunderbolt sempre di StarTech.com), installare il driver fornito da ASRock , dopodiché verrà chiesto di approvare la connessione. La scheda D8SC viene vista immediatamente dentro la DAW (per il momento utilizzo Studio One v.4.5.5) in modo affidabile e performate. L'unico neo è il costo eccessivo: adattatore e cavo circa 150€. Consigliato. Giancarlo.

Moving away from Apple laptops I was worried that wouldn't be able to continue using my Apple thunderbolt display 27 inch screen. This device worked on my XPS13 9360 running on Linux Ubuntu 17.04. I was able to drive my Apple thunderbolt display 27 inch screen (and integrated audio in it) as a second display. Worked first time, no driver needed, no problem (Linux rocks...). Only caveat was that I was not able to use the USB or the network adaptor at the back of the screen. It seems that the thunderbolt adaptor sees the display as an HDMI device only rather than as a docking station (which is should normally be with a Mac). However it was my main goal to be able to reuse this unusual screen which does not have standard connectors like HDMI or Display Port, etc... This Startech adaptor meant I didn't have had to sell my Apple thunderbolt display 27 inch screen.

I have a Dell XPS laptop purchased in 2017 and an Apple Thunderbolt Display purchased in 2014. I wanted to connect the Dell (Thunderbolt 3) to the Diisplay (Thunderbolt 2). So, I bought the Apple TB3-TB2 adapter. And this worked for getting the single display to function with the Dell. Then I added a Dell Thunderbolt docking station, the TB16, to the mix. The Laptop to the Docking station via Thunderbolt 3, and the Docking station to the display via the Apple adapter. The display no longer worked. I think the problem is related to the problem people have when trying to daisychain multiple displays using the Apple adapter. The Display doesn't recognize that it is supposed to wake up, and becomes useless. So, I bought the Star Tech adaptor and started using it instead of the Apple adapter. Display started working again right away. No issues. (Remember though that you need the latest firmware on your system.)
