We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with our TBT3TBTADAP. This adapter converts a Thunderbolt 3 port on a computer to a Thunderbolt 2 device. It is compatible with both Windows and macOS, however, it will not work if the port on your computer is basic USB-C and not true Thunderbolt 3. We'd be happy to look into this further with you. Please contact us at www.startech.com/support where our Technical Advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week to provide support.
If external device (I use audio interface) is powered after computer is booted up, it's not recognized and there is no way to rescan for attached devices. Have to either restart the computer or unplug and re-plug StarTech device. Annoying.

Hello Jeff,
We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having with our TBT3TBTADAP. It sounds like there may be an issue with hot-swapping the adapter or audio equipment. One of our Technical Advisors will be reaching out to you with the email provided to troubleshoot further.
Tried to connect a BMD video capture device (T-Bolt2) to a new iMac 27 (T-Bolt3) and will not read the capture device. Updated all firmware and still a no go. Should have gone with the Apple TBolt3 to Tbolt2 dongle.

Allows using Thunderbolt 2 devices with newer PCs that have Thunderbolt 3 ports. I've tested it and it just works. This adapter does not allow using Thunderbolt 3 devices with Thunderbolt 2 computers though, unlike the much less expensive Apple adapter. Note: For mini DisplayPort, use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable instead.
Works out of the box and does exactly what the product description says it will do. I ordered this as soon as it was available, and it has solved my problem of connecting TB2 devices to my TB3 port on the Dell XPS computer.
