## Description

desertcart.com: Apple Thunderbolt 2 Cable (0.5 m) : Electronics

Review: Sturdy, reliable and easy to use - The Apple Thunderbolt Cable (0.5 m) is a popular choice for anyone looking for a high-performance cable to connect their Apple devices together. This cable is designed to provide fast speeds and reliable connectivity, and it does an excellent job of both. There are a number of pros to using the Apple Thunderbolt Cable (0.5 m), including its high-quality construction, fast transfer speeds, and compatibility with a wide range of devices. However, there are also a few cons to keep in mind. For one, this cable can be quite expensive compared to other options on the market. Additionally, some users have reported issues with the cable breaking or failing after extended use. Overall, if you're looking for a high-quality Thunderbolt cable, the Apple Thunderbolt Cable (0.5 m) is definitely worth considering, but it may not be the best choice for everyone.
Review: Does what it's intended to do - What I liked best about the purchase was I was able to get a cable I needed in one day...on sale... and one I know will be durable for at least a reasonable period of time. Apple cables may not always be the most durable but they are a known quantity and get the job done. Other review criteria; Durability? Who knows I've only used it for a week and was asked for a review. Value for the money? Apple cables in general seem to be over priced but I could get it in one day...and it was on sale. So yes, I got a reasonable deal on it. Sturdiness? Everything wears and falls apart in time but I've only had it for a week so time will tell. My experience with Apple cables is if you don't treat them like a teenaged kid they will last at least a couple years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this a genuine Apple product?**
A: As stated above, Apple does not lend their brand to sub-par manufacturers. Further, they have an army of attorneys that would have this product removed from Amazon in a second. They are hardcore when it comes to counterfeit products! This cable has been on this page for a long time now, given the dates of reviews, so there is absolutely no reason to believe this is counterfeit. They also sell this cable on their own site, to add further authenticity. But NOTE, this is a 20Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable, NOT a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable. This means it will not run a monitor any larger than 4K, nor will it daisy chain two 4K monitors. There are few peripherals that otherwise take advantage of 40Gbps bandwidth. So if you're not running a 5K monitor or larger, daisy chaining two 4K monitors, then this cable should do just about anything you need it to. Apple cables are great. They aren't necessarily the best, though. My experience with them is that they last a few years and then need replacing, unless you just plug it in, leave it plugged in, and never move anything it's plugged into. So for the cost of this cable, I say it's a great value compared to paying twice as much—or more—for a full 40gbs 6.6ft cable that may not last any longer. Additionally, if you do use a laptop and move it about, most braided cables are too heavy and will wear down your port connectivity. This cable is light enough to not cause damage to any connected device costing 100 times the price.

**Q: Is this cable Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3?**
A: It's Thunderbolt 2--that is, 20 Gb/s, with Mini DisplayPort-style connectors.

**Q: Does this enable dual support between the macbook pro and imac? or just faster file transferring?**
A: This helps and works very well. I use iMac as a monitor

**Q: I have a 2012 macbook pro w/ thunderbolt port and a 2010 27" imac with minidisplay port. can i use this cable to link the two for 2nd display?**
A: This site goes over the connectivity between Thunderbolt and Mini Display Port: https://www.cnet.com/news/confusing-mini-displayport-with-thunderbolt/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely High Quality; Extremely High Price; Make Sure You Need them before you Purchase Them
*by R***Y on February 11, 2017*

These are far too expensive. But it is the price you pay for using the latest technology for high-speed transfer. You can use these to connect two Apple computers together, or for connecting your Apple computer to a Thunderbolt-enabled external drive (which is my primary use for them). They are very high quality like most Apple items are, but they come at an eye-watering price. You can attempt to console yourself with the understanding that these cables are not "just" cables: if you were to physically destroy the end caps and look inside, you would find the electronic controller components that facilitate the technology. So, you are not just paying for a cable, but also for the controller that is hidden inside the cable's end caps. The cable quality, too, is exceptionally high, and they should last a very, very long time if they are not abused. It's hard to give them a five-star rating because of their cost, but in actuality, they are indeed a five-star product, and if you are using Thunderbolt, I would recommend them over non-Apple brands. HEADS UP! "Thunderbolt" is a subject that carries much confusion. These are *NOT* the same as Mini Display Port cables, which are used to connect high-resolution monitors to computers. If you are unsure of the difference, do some research on "Thunderbolt and Mini Display Port" to understand the difference. It's confusing because the physical connectors of "Thunderbolt" and "Mini Display Port" cables are exactly the same, and have the same physical (i.e., size) specifications. But these two technologies perform different tasks and are NOT universally interchangeable. Research before you purchase so that you purchase only what you actually need.
