kerochan Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) I am utterly confused with all this USB C/TB stuff I am getting a new UA Apollo interface, TB3, for some reason it comes without a cable! Can I use this https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MLL82ZM/A/usb-c-charge-cable-2m from the interface to my Computer?

enossified Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 kerochan, The Apple adapters are well worth their high prices. Most importantly you can expect them to work properly. I used an Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter for a number of years with zero issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
