The full path should be 10gb. **Q: does this work for usb-c and can i use a usb-c to usb-a cable for usb 3.0 type a cable into usb 3.0 port on older 2015 macbook pro 11,4?** A: It requires a direct connection to the computer via TB3. USB-C will not work. **Q: Is this the current version with the detachable cable or the old version with the captive cable? The part number matches the new version.** A: Hello, This should be the new version with the detachable cable. The page just needs to be updated with the current images of the unit. **Q: Will this work with a thunderbolt 2 device/ 2-3 adapter?** A: Hello, To use this bus-powered device on older Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 computers, it has to be connected to the second Thunderbolt 3 port on another self-powered Thunderbolt 3 device. If connected directly to a host the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, bus-power is insufficient. An example configuration is: Thunderbolt 2 Mac with macOS 10.13.6 or above > Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter > self-powered Thunderbolt 3 device with two TB3 ports > OWC Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Owesome reliability *by A***Y on 28 February 2025* Out of the box compatibility with Mac, Just connected it and I have a reliable 10G connection.
