2 Dongles for Ethernet!?
There has to be a more elegant way to run the Carbon of a MacBookPro!? I was hoping my Thunderbolt Display with build in Ethernet would do the trick, but no go. It doesn't seem to recognize the Carbon. So now I am running Ethernet to Thunderbolt2 to Thunderbolt3 in to my MacBookPro. Are there any Thunderbolt 3 hubs with Ethernet that would work? or how about a single Thunderbolt3 to Ethernet dongle!?

Re: 2 Dongles for Ethernet!?
There are a few on the AVB compatible TB3 --> Ethernet adapters on the market, but in testing we had issues with them all to some degree. The double Apple dongle, while inelegant, was the most stable.

Re: 2 Dongles for Ethernet!?
Agreed.
It would be nice to know what else Avid has tested, so that we don't speculate as to what might work. For example, the Caldigit TS3 Plus doesn't support AVB through its Ethernet port (similar to the monitor Ethernet ports described above) but Caldigit have recently released a USB-C/TB3 to 10Gb adapter, which does support AVB. https://www.caldigit.com/connect-10-g/ Setting aside the generally poor reports out on the 'net of connections dropping and similar reliability issues with this new adapter (very much in contrast to the TS3 Plus, which most people think is great), has Avid tested this one, or is it too new? It might be a great option, or it might be a disaster. We don't know without trying. |

But if you do want to use your TB Display as a second display It should work if you connect the TB Display to your Mac and Mac to Carbon ..... I run my old Cinema Display fine connected to my iMac

From what I have seen is that most manufacturers of Thunderbolt 3 peripherals with Ethernet ports use the USBC protocol for Ethernet which doesn't support AVB. I have gotten used to the double dongle lol |
