How can I connect my Apple Cinema Display 30 inch Aluminum to my new Macbook Pro 2019

I love my 2006 Apple Cinema Display 30 inch Aluminum. A computer can be connected to this display via a DVI, a USB-2, and/or a Firewire 2 connection. Currently, I connect it to my old mac via DVI.


Here is a link from which contains all the information about this display, including the downloadable manual .

Can some one please, please tell me how I can connect this monitor to my laptop via the available USB-C connections?


My guess is that if I connect via the USB-2 and Firewire-2 connection, it would work. So I think I need a usb-c hub that provides these two connection. Am I right? Would using these two connection do the trick?


Thanks much in advance!


MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar (2018 or later)

You need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter

to use with a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter (don't forget to plug in its USB cable).

(Many USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapters don't support DVI adapters. The one I linked says it does support them.)


You will also need a USB-C to USB Adapter for the DVI adapter's USB cable.
