Not sure what you mean by trash, but you should be looking for mini display port to display port cables.

I use a cheap one, and it works fine.

It is $9:

but the my port is thunderbolt 2, not mini DP, and its not the same according to Apple Website
"Mini DisplayPort is not the same as Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2
Thunderbolt icon
. They have the same shape, but use different symbols on the cable and port"

This is totally true, Mini Display Port is not TB1 or TB2, but TB1 and TB2 is also a Mini Display Port.

The Apple site you linked doesn't pertain to your Mac, it is talking about:
"Adapters for the Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port on your Mac or iPad Pro"

You have TB2, which is also a Mini Display Port.

That doesn't matter. Just use a miniDP to DP cable. The MBP will automatically output a DP signal.
Yup!
