The USB Type-C Male to Mini DisplayPort Female Adapter from C2G is the ideal solution for connecting a Thunderbolt 3 laptop to an older Thunderbolt Gen 1 or Gen 2 display or device. Data transfers at a rate up to 20 Gb/s, which is fully backwards compatible with Thunderbolt Gen 1 and Gen 2 devices. This adapter is an ideal solution to transfer large amounts of information, such as high-resolution photos or videos from Thunderbolt Gen 1 or Gen 2 storage devices, to your Thunderbolt 3 laptop. The adapter's USB Type-C connector is smaller than traditional USB connectors. It features a symmetrical design that allows you to connect it on the first try. Additionally, the durability of the USB Type-C connector allows for up to 10,000 connection cycles. The dongle style reduces strain on the host laptop's USB Type-C port, preventing extra weight and pressure from damaging the port.

Note: The adapter supports a single direction, which means that you must have a Thunderbolt 3 host device, like a laptop connected to legacy Thunderbolt Gen 1 or Gen 2 displays and devices.
