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.

The Apple cable is slightly more expensive than others such as Belkin but as someone who uses a lot of Thunderbolt devices I've found the Apple one is the only one that can handle daily unpluging such as when using an external drive between home and work. I have a Belkin one that after a few months just cracked all around the ends of the cable and it is now unusable. It was £5 cheaper but my Apple ones are over a year old and show no signs of wear or issues.My advice would be to buy the Apple cable if you intend to regularly unplug the cable but if you intend to leave a device constantly plugged in, then you could save some money on the cheaper alternatives.

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:-)

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 a brand new Macbook Air, but could not migrate data from my old Macbook Pro. I contacted Apple and was told that I needed a Thunderbolt cable, at £29. I ordered one, but it does not fit into the Macbook Air. I contacted Apple again, and was told I needed an adaptor at $49. Needless to say, it did not fit either. Apple products are ludicrously expensive, but you would think their technical advisers would at least know how to connect two of their products.

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...
