Apple Thunderbolt cable (2m)

Not the cheapest Thunderbolt cable, but has performed flawlessly.You do pay a premium for Thunderbolt technology anyway, but it works reliably and well. This cable links an iMac to an Anker 577 Thunderbolt dock, so runs several devices through it.For a single device I might 'risk' a cheaper non-Apple cable.

It felt so good to buy a genuine Apple product - having read reviews of non-Apple products, I decided it was not worth the risk of buying something sub-standard. I needed perfect reliable connection between a laptop and a desktop. This product connected the 2 Apple devices perfectly without any errors and I have used it multiple times for all day events - works perfectly.

Cable does exactly what I needed it to, but as others have commented, it's a bit annoying that the only options are 2m or 0.5m. The 0.5m is really quite short for most purposes, but 2m is longer than I need. 1m would have been nice (and presumably cheaper). And that's why I can only give this 4 stars - because I think that paying £32 for a cable is a bit steep.

This a genuine Apple Thunderbolt 2 cable. It is backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 1. It is great for connecting to Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 equipment.It can also be used in conjunction with a Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter to connect new MacBooks (Thunderbolt 3) to Older MacBooks (Thunderbolt 1 and 2) for peer to peer networking.I use this with Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 to 2 Adapter to connect a Late 2012 MacBook Pro with Rentia to an external GPU (AMD RX 580).

I bought this to attach my Thunderbolt 2 audio interface to a Thunderbolt 3 adaptor to my new Mac Mini. It does this perfectly, without any issues so far. It's Apple, it's expensive, it works:-)

Very easy to set up. I was amazed at how quickly migrating data from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Air took. Great product!

I bought this as a backup cable to link my iMac to a Transcend external hard drive. The cable that came with the hard drive works perfectly, but this official Apple one didn't work at all. I tried on two different computer and it wouldn't work. The cable is very rigid and the connection is stiff, so perhaps it just doesn't go in far enough? But you'd think an Apple product at this cost would work!Because it was bought as a backup cable, by the time I got round to using it, it was too late to return. So a waste of money. The original Transcend cable is still going strong though :-)

This cable is of course perfectly okay until it isn't. Point being this is a replacement for identical item which failed after about two years. At around forty squid this is less time functioning properly than some domestic appliances with their built-in obsolescence. I didn't for a moment think my loss of firewire connectivity was down to the cable I mean how could they fail they just sit there... browsing revealed tales of failure after just a few weeks of data transfer...
