Many fuel types can flow through one connector as opposed to designing a different connector for each fuel type.īeing able to use a USB-C dock with older Thunderbolt 2 Macbook Pros To continue the vehicle analogy - imagine having one pump that could safely detect if diesel (and which blend) or gasoline (leaded or unleaded) or ethanol (of many different blends) is needed from the same one hose that is inserted in to the side of the vehicle. It's like having 4 different adapters and plugs in one. Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB-C connector it "embeds" USB 3.1, PCIe, DisplayPort (DP) and power on the same set of cables. Thunderbolt is neither "compatible" nor "incompatible" with nor does it convert to USB-C. USB-C is just how the port is physically laid out. To use a car analogy, this is like asking for a gasoline that specifically works in convertibles. There is a fundamental difference between thunderbolt 3 using the USB-C connector style as opposed to the underlying data and voltages being compatible for USB to Thunderbolt.

If there is no such adapter please explain: If there is such an adapter please give a link and some form of evidence that these would have 100% compatibility with USB-C docks. I will accept an answer that meets the following requirements: Is there a reason why something like this hasn't been made? Or is the USB-C specification designed such that it is impossible? (hence businesses can still continue to sell expensive Thunderbolt 2 docks.) Being able to use a USB-C dock with older Thunderbolt 2 Macbook Pros would not only be cheaper but also allows me to use the same USB-C dock if I decided to upgrade to a future Macbook.įor that to work I need a Thunderbolt 2 (male) to USB-C female adaptor, after some searching it doesn't seem to exist. The cheapest Thunderbolt 2 dock costs around $200 while USB-C docks cost around $30.

I currently use a 2014 MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 2 ports, and I want to futureproof my purchase by acquiring a cheaper USB-C dock now. Thunderbolt 2 docks have been quite expensive and they will be obsolete once I purchase the new Macbooks with USB-C ports.
