Mini Displayport female adaptor

I have this 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display monitor (2010) that has this cable with 3 pieces (Mini Displayport, USB, and Magsafe (for power - I also have clip-on Magsafe 2).


As I've bought Mac Pro (2019) last week and I realised after searching that there is no suitable female Mini Displayport adaptor for the HMDI if I do buy the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.


I have no interest in replacing the monitor, so could anyone give me ideas on combinations of cables/ports/adapters to make this working without forking out $1K for a new monitor. If there is no solution, then any recommendations for under $500?


Thanks

You need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter, such as

and a USB adapter

You can also charge through the extra USB-C port on the UPTab adapter using a Magsafe to USB-C adapter, such as:

The USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter plugs into to one of the computer's USB-C ports. You can charge via the extra USB-C port on the adapter, using the computer's charger, or from the display with a MagSafe to USB-C adapter.


The display's USB cable plugs into the other USB port on the computer via the USB-C to USB-A adapter.


The display has three USB ports on the back for other peripherals, so you probably don't need a hub.
