However, the cable's thick, black design may not be suitable for more aesthetic-focused environments.

Pros

Cons
  • Some users have reported compatibility issues with certain devices.

Ideal for work

We had a 2009 iMac 27 that couldn't be upgraded to Catalina and a son with a 2019 13" MacBookPro that specializes in PC gaming and needed more screen real estate while running xCode . This cable helped us with that. Simply put your iMac in aim mode by pressing F2 and bam. Welcome to a dual monitor system that's way better than the previously recommended USB-C to Displayport adapter and DisplayPort male to male cable routing. the quality seems to be top notch.

Pros
  • Unidirectional USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable for connecting a computer or smartphone with a USB Type-C connector to a monitor with a Mini DisplayPort input; The Thunderbolt 3 to Mini DisplayPort cable requires a Thunderbolt 3 or USB Type-C host port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode to display video over USB-C.
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Does not work with UAD 2 Satellite and MacBook Pro

Maybe I made a mistake and bought the wrong product for work. I have a Thunderbolt UAD 2 DSP accelerator that uses a Thunderbolt 2 cable and I was trying to connect it to my 2017 MacBook Pro. This cable didn't work so I had to use a regular Thunderbolt cable along with a USB-c to Thunderbolt adapter to get my UAD system working. I don't know if the cable is defective because I haven't tried it in other scenarios.

Pros
  • Important Notes: Not compatible with Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 port. Not compatible with older Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, Mac Pro or iMac with Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2. Not compatible with audio interface or hard disk drives Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 drives Does not support target display mode or target drive mode.
Cons
  • Poor instructions
