    Connect (old) Thunderbolt Display 27” to MacBook Pro 15 (Mid 2019)?

    On my question (see the title) OWC clarified that a. my (old) Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display has a Thunderbolt 2 port. b. all the ports on the OWC Thunderbolt Dock and my MacBook Pro 15 (Mid 2019) are Thunderbolt 3) c. all I needed was a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. And so it was, :-)

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
