Mac Thunderbolt Adapter

The Zebra MD463ZM/A adds a Gigabit Ethernet port to MacBook Air or MacBook Pro models with a Thunderbolt port. It targets users who need a wired 10/100/1000BASE-T connection for stable network access. The adapter draws power directly from the host port.

Simple Plug-In Installation

Connection is straightforward: insert the built-in cable into the Thunderbolt port and plug the RJ45 cable into the network jack. No external power supply or driver download is required on supported macOS versions. The main friction point is the fixed short cable, which limits placement flexibility near the computer.

Thunderbolt Port And OS Requirement

The adapter only functions on Macs equipped with a Thunderbolt port running OS X v10.7.4 or later. It cannot be used with USB-C ports that lack Thunderbolt signalling or with Windows PCs via Thunderbolt. The single RJ45 port provides one network link and does not support link aggregation or faster Ethernet standards.
