Thunderbolt Display intermittent black out on 2017 MacBook Pro

I'm using a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect my 2017 MacBook Pro to my Thunderbolt Display. Every so often the connection blacks out for a few seconds, then completely stops working. I have tried purchasing a new adapter, which works for a few months. Looking for a longer term (more economical) solution.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Possible that the octopus cable is bad. You can get a TB cable and connect to a TB port on the display bypassing the octopus cable.
