[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1927882, member: 190607"] You can physically connect the two using this adapter from Apple: [URL code="true"]https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMEL2AM/A/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-to-thunderbolt-2-adapter[/URL] You will also need a male to male Thunderbolt 2 cable to connect your MBA to this adapter. Will this all work for your intended use? I can't say. Thunderbolt 2 was kind of a red-headed step-child of an interface. Connecting to a Thunderbolt 2 port, and then using two different adapters to get it to connect to your monitor introduces a lot of uncertainty. Several times I've heard of people trying such a thing, and it doesn't always work. [/QUOTE]
