Will this cable work for other Thunderbolt purposes, such as with Thunderbold peripherals?

No it does not, this will only accomplish Mini DisplayPort tasks. This will not transfer data via thunderbolt or work with anything that requires thunderbolt and is not compatible with Mini DisplayPort. While I generally do not buy Apple cables, as they are usually overpriced with alternatives available that work just as well at a fraction of the cost- a 6ft/2m Thunderbolt cable does not seem to be made any cheaper from a, reliable third party competitor, Kanex and Monoprice does not currently seem to manufacture Thunderbolt cables. http://www.amazon.com/Kanex-TBOLT2M-2-Meter-Thunderbolt-Cable/dp/B00865YE4O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-5&keywords=thunderbolt+cable So I would suggest in this particular scenario simply purchasing Apple's version http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD861ZM-Thunderbolt-Cable-VERSION/dp/B00B3Y4FAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+cable or if the length doesn't matter, the .5M cable (which is actually cheaper if you buy from Apple vs. Kanex.) http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD862ZM-Thunderbolt-Cable-VERSION/dp/B00B3Y4U4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-2&keywords=thunderbolt+cable

Yes and no. For example I use mine to connect from my 15in MacBook Pro that has thunderbolt, to a 27in iMac that does not have thunderbolt only mini display. I use the iMac as an external display for the MacBook Pro.

Well, on my Mac Mini, I have another Thunderbolt cable and an HDMI cable. The extra curved part of the cable shroud they added makes it impossible to plug it in - it either jams against the HDMI cable or against the other Thunderbolt cable. So couldn't even try it out. This may only apply to the Mac Mini, and only if you have both of the other cables plugged in.

I'm sure it would work but I have not used my hard drives yet. You might have to get a Thunderbolt connection.

From what you are saying, yes. Thunderbolt cable will connect from the Thunderbolt port of your mac to the Thunderbolt port of your display.

Yes, it does. The thunderbolt drive works well with my wife's MacBook PRO with Retina display & Thunderbolt connections. Very fast.

No, this is not thunderbolt compatible. Instead of trying to figure out how to connect this via Thunderbolt, consider getting a USB hub if you have run out of USB ports.

Once it is in the thunderbolt port on a computer it shows up to the operating system as a FireWire 800 device with an LSI chipset. Just like having a FireWire port. So, yes, it should be just fine.

If you're Mac Pro has a thunderbolt port it will work. That is what this cable was made to do

I believe you are correct. Thunderbolt is NOT supported. Output is via displayport, but unless your monitor supports a displayport input, it will not work. I use a Dell monitor with displayport connections and it works just fine. If your monitor has an HDMI input, you might try a displayport to HDMI adaptor to get your monitor up and running.

Yes, you have a thunderbolt port, but the mini display port adapter will work

I would think that would work. I personally use the "Thunderbolt" to DVI or VGA.

This cable is intended to use with mini display port equipped screens such as the "older" apple Cinema Display. It works perfect with it, both video and data are transferred correctly.the thunderbolt port is backwards compatible with mini display port, so If you just want the video from your display it will work, however the data (such as audio) it's transferred via thunderbolt so you won't be able to use it at its full capacity. I would advise to look for a thunderbolt extension , do you can get its full power

it has the normal (large) dp cable on both ends you would need something like this --&gt; http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00HNF0KF0/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_4 or http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00C7RJQPY/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_1 Hope the info Helps

I am pretty sure all of the thunderbolt ports are the same. We use this on an iMac and on a MacBook Pro without a problem.

That depends. The thunderbolt implementation has issues and periodically will not respond. Since you are not using it for video, you may not see when it disconnects. If you are using it for an external drive, it may disconnect while in use... I have stopped using it and am trying to return the product.

No, that's why I returned it....they did away with the display port and made them thunderbolt ports instead, hope this is helpful
