I have a MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), will this connector work with my Apple Thunderbolt 27" Display?

Monoprice Select Series USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter
Monoprice 3ft 32AWG Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable, White
Monoprice Mini DisplayPort Coupler (Female to Female) - Straight Type
BEST ANSWER: Sorry, this will not be possible. The Apple Thunderbolt display uses the Mini DisplayPort connector, but it is not a DisplayPort connection. In the same way, Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB-C connector, but is not a USB-C connection. In other words, just because the connectors fit doesn't mean it will work. The Macbook 12" has USB-C only, not Thunderbolt 3 (the type that uses the USB-C connector). While there is a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and the connectors will all fit together nicely, it will not work because the Macbook 12" doesn't support Thunderbolt 3, just USB-C. That being said, a computer with Thunderbolt 3 (like the 2016 MAcbook Pro) can use the adapter to connect to the older Thunderbolt display. It's confusing because the adapters look the same, so I hope this helps.

ah yes so i went over to try - and silly me, the Apple Thunderbolt monitor exposes a mini display port which obviously does not fit into this (full size-) display port adapter haha.

Can this adapter be used with DisplayPort MST hubs (multiple DisplayPort monitors from 1 DisplayPort port)?
A shopper
on Dec 13, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I only assume it would, as it sends a perfect signal from a usb-c thought to a displayPort cable. It does this as if it were natively a single cable. You would still need to use the MST hub, obviously to then connect multiple monitors.

The way I use this adapter is to connect my laptop with a USB-C port to a monitor with a Display Port. I connect the adapter to a Display Port cable with male connctors at both ends. Now you can reach your own conclusions.

BEST ANSWER: This is incorrect. Thunderbolt 2 looks like Mini-DVI but is NOT. So a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter will not run your display.

Has anyone tried connecting two monitors using one adaptor and then daisy chaining the monitors together?
Rob C
on Jan 7, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I have tried this with the new 2016 MacBook Pro 15" and the monitors will only mirror each other. You cannot extend the desktop across both. To get an extended desktop you will need two adaptors and use two of the USB-C ports.
Some PC display cards do support this option, if the Monitors support DisplayPort 1.2 and you may have to enable MST on your monitors. I have no first hand experience with this though.

Monoprice Select Series USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter
Monoprice 3ft 32AWG Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable, White
BEST ANSWER: It depends on which iMac. According to Apple's document HT204592, "Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode", only 3 categories of iMacs support Target Display Mode: iMac (27-inch, Late 2009), iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010), iMac (Mid 2011-Mid 2014). All of those three can use Thunderbolt for Target Display Mode. Only the first two (2009, 2010) will work with DisplayPort. The 2011-2014 models require Thunderbolt. For Thunderbolt, you'll want the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 cable. Note that the Thunderbolt adapter does not pass DisplayPort signals, so you may want the DisplayPort adapter anyway to use non-Thunderbolt displays.

Yes, it should work, according to Apple's support document. I haven't tried it myself, so let us know how it goes, and whether or not you also try the Thunderbolt option.
Apple's Thunderbolt adapter currently has special pricing, and also allows older Thunderbolt 2 computers to use Thunderbolt 3 devices. Also, the adapter can be used for Target Disk Mode between a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and a Thunderbolt 3 Mac in either direction. Target Disk Mode can be used to transfer files or modify partitions on the disk without booting the computer.

Is this cable bidirectional? Can I connect this to a full-size displayport output (from the Select Series USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter) to a minidp port on my monitor? If so, is there any disadvantage to doing this?

Monoprice Select Series USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter
Monoprice Select Series Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to DisplayPort 4K Capable Cable, 1.5ft
BEST ANSWER: MiniDisplayPort to DisplayPort is just a straight through cable since all the signals are the same (doesn't matter if the connectors are male or female). That means it's bidirectional. You should be able to use it with the USB-C (alt-mode) to DisplayPort adapter to connect your computer with USB-C (alt-mode) port to a display with Mini DisplayPort input.
You can chain multiple DisplayPort/Mini DisplayPort adapters together. It's a digital signal, so there would need to be a lot of noise before a problem in the signal causes display artifacts, but fewer adapters in the chain is better.

Maybe it is implied, but does this adapter support USB C DisplayPort™ over Alt Mode? (Saw some articles saying the adapter needs to support it in addition to the input and output devices, but did not see any explicit statement in the product description or other questions/answers.)
