The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt devices (like external hard drives and Thunderbolt docks) to any Thunderbolt/USB 4 or Thunderbolt 3 port (USB-C) on your Mac. As it's a bidirectional adapter, you can also connect Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac with a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port and macOS Sierra (or later). Additionally, it can be used to connect Thunderbolt-compatible displays (like the Apple Thunderbolt Display and LG Thunderbolt 2 displays) to any Thunderbolt/USB 4 or Thunderbolt 3 port (USB-C) on your Mac. However, using this adapter with an Apple Thunderbolt Display requires a power source, as the display does not transfer power through the adapter. Note: This adapter does not support DisplayPort displays such as the Apple LED Cinema Display or third-party DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort displays.
