USB-C is the name of the connector, ONLY.


If the adapter you bought is the Apple ThunderBolt-3 to ThunderBolt-2 adapter, it does not produce a usable display signal of any description.


To solve this problem, you need to connect form the computer output port to the display input port with at most ONE adapter. Apple does not sell a mini displayPort or [Full size] DisplayPort adapter.
