Trying to connect a 27" Thunderbolt 2 Display to a Mac Studio M2 Max

I know that I need a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. But I'd like to see a schematic drawing of where the cables and adapters need to be plugged in and connected.

Mac Studio (2023)

Be sure to plug the Thunderbolt 3-to-2 adapter into one of the rear ports on your Mac Studio.


On a Mac Studio that has a M1 Max or M2 Max processor, only the four rear USB-C ports support Thunderbolt. The two front ports are USB-only. An Ultra is two Max chips joined back to back and has more Thunderbolt controllers, so on Mac Studios with M1 Ultra and M2 Ultra processors, all six USB-C ports support Thunderbolt.
