This is a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. It enables you to connect any Thunderbolt 2 device such as a Thunderbolt 2 hard drive or RAID, a Thunderbolt Blackmagic or Aja video device or any such. Even a Thunderbolt to PCIe adapter. To any new MacBook/Pro or iMac which has Thunderbolt 3 ports. This adapter will work with an Apple Thunderbolt 2 display. It will not work with an Apple Cinema Display which uses a Thunderbolt 2 looking connector which is actually a mini Display Port. See this document (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207266) The difference between an Apple Cinema Display and an Apple Thunderbolt Display is that the Thunderbolt display has an Ethernet and a Firewire800 port at the back. The Cinema Display does not. What you need is a USB-C to mini Display Port adapter such as the UPTab USB-C Type C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter or the ITANDA USB C Type to Mini DisplayPort/Mini DP Adapter Cable.
