I desperately a need male Thunderbolt to female USB-C adaptor (see attached pic to avoid any confusion)
I can find every other type of adaptor imaginable, but not the one I need.
Does this exist and if so, can anyone please provide a link to where I can purchase one?
Thank you
MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.15
Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is the adapter you need. The TB2 port is a female and the USB-C port is male. You need a cable with TB2 male on both ends to plug into the computer's female TB port and the adapter's female TB port.
Well, difficult to see the port on the computer given the angle. You mean a TB2 port which is not the same as a USB-C or TB3 port, which is what is on the cable you are holding. You will find an adapter at Amazon or Apple Store. You will then need the proper cable to use.
The solution I offered will result in providing two Female TB2 ports connected by one Male to Male TB2 cable.
Device: Male USB-C to Female TB2 (adapter): Male to Male TB2 cable: Computer
Please provide the following information:
What are the two devices you are trying to connect? The computer and something else?
On the computer, you have what type of ports? USB-A Female and TB2 Female?
On the other device what type of port? A USB-C Male or Female?
What cable do you have? USB-C Male to Male or Male to Female?
Yes that's fine on the laptop end, but that would then leave 2 male USB-C's.
I haven't seen a female to female USB-C adaptor anywhere either and even so, it's getting a little ridiculous at that stage 😁
I'm trying to connect a laptop to a dock for screen extending (home office)
Maybe I'm using incorrect names, but one won't physically fit into the other, so that won't work. That's why I attached the picture to the original post
Yes I know what I need, I just cannot find one, on Apple or Amazon or ebay.
Hoping someone has a link I can use.
I need male TB1, female USB-C adaptor
Okay, if that's the only way to do it I guess it'll have to do 😒
Thanks for the help my friend 😁
Actually the solution above won't do the job, as it's a male usb-c.
I have a male usb-c that I need to get into a female thunderbolt port.
That means the adaptor must have a female usb-c port before I even worry about the thunderbolt side
If you connect the adapter's USB-C plug to the USB-C port on the dock, then you use the Male-to-Male cable between the computer and the TB2 female connection of the dock. Isn't that what you are trying to do?
|Computer| <= TB2 cable => {Adapter} ======> [Dock]
F-TB2 M............ M F-TB2---M-USB-C F-USB-C
Does this look like what you need? BTW, I don't know if this even works with displays.
Just plug in the cable. No adapter is required. Thunderbolt and USB-C are the same.
Does a Thunderbolt (male) to USB-C (female) Adaptor exist?
