I have a new MBP and I am looking for hubs to connect older devices. I need to connect my Thunderbolt 2.0 devices, and it seems none of the hubs for sale have a way to do that. Am I wrong? Can I plug a Thunderbolt into a Thunderbolt 3.0 and have it work? Otherwise, any suggestions?
Are there any hubs for the new MBP's that have a Thunderbolt 2 connector?

Thunderbolt 3 is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 2 and 1 but requires an adapter. You can find adapters to fit at www.monoprice.com and also at Amazon.com.
