I do not believe so because ethernet is made to send a different format of data than thunderbolt, so it will not be able to handle the same kind of information. The adapter exists because thunderbolt can send signals used for ethernet, but I don't think the ethernet cord will handle everything that you need for all thunderbolt connections. I could be wrong though, I suppose it is worth some more research, or if you have the materials, it is worth trying.
