When unpacking I immediately fell to the realtiv high rigidity of the cable that connects the RJ45 port with the Thundebolt plug.
The Thunderbolts ability to grind the signal through several units was unfortunately not used at all in this adapter.
He blocked a Thunderbolt connector port, without the ability to turn other devices in series.
After plugging in the adapter installed in the system automatically and could be used immediately.
The transmission rates in the range 100 Mbit could be quite impressive, 1 Gb could not be tested due to lack of hardware connections.
At that, here often described, heat-development during prolonged operation, I can not make no statement because it did not occur to me. After a 70 GB Time Machine backup surf followed by Youtube was the adapter not even lukewarm.

Mike
