Can I connect Apple Thunderbolt display via FireWire 800 ?

Hi.

I'm using OWC OWCTB3DK13PSG Thunderbolt 3 Dock as docking stations connection MacBook Pro and two Thunderbolt monitors (one monitor connected to docking stations via USB-C Thunderbolt 2 adapter and second connected to the first monitor via daisy chain).


Is it possible to connect the second monitor vie FireWire 800 port directly to the dock station?



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

No. The display's FireWire port is only for connecting FireWire devices. You need a Thunderbolt connection for the display to work.
