Thunderbolt 5 to thunderbolt 2?

[Ruby Gomez]

Hello does anybody know if there is a reliable way to connect a Mac mini M4 pro (2024) to an Apple Thunderbolt display (2013, Thunderbolt 2)?
Is an adapter Thunderbolt 5 -> Thunderbolt 2 available?

(With Apple support I do not get a satisfying answer.)

Thanks!

This should still work. TB5 is backward compatible with TB3.

I can't get it to work for me. I have the Apple USB3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. For several years I used it to connect an OWC Thunderbay IV that was thunderbolt2 to a 2019 Mac Pro. When I try to use the same cable and connector to connect to my MacBook Pro M4, I get a a power led that changes from orange to blue when the cable is connected but no disk activity within the Thunderbay and no disks are detected by The Macbook4.
