Since iMac's don't have a thunderbolt 4, I am not sure what you want to know.


The ethernet port on the new iMac24 is actually in the power adapter.


My new Thunderbolt 3 dock (Which is compatible with Thunderbolt 4) has an extra ethernet port. It plugs into the computer with a thunderbolt 3 cable. I would imagine that any thunderbolt 3/4 -> Ethernet adapter you get plugs into a thunderbolt port on the Mac.
