Connecting a Mini DisplayPort monitor to new MacBook Pro M4Pro

Are there adapters that will allow me to connect my 2010 27" Apple Cinema Display to the new MacBook Pro M4Pro? Specifically, the display uses Mini DisplayPort and USB A cables.

  1. For Thunderbolt port/USB-4 to Mini Display Port -- this adapter.
  2. For Thunderbolt port/USB-4 to USB-A port, you will need another adapter.


Impression: That will take the precious "2" Thunderbolt ports and leave you ONE Thunderbolt 5.


Another suggestion:

Wait for Thunderbolt 5 Hub for additional connectives,

or

This OWC Hub (old but it has a Mini Display Port and few USB A port).


Best
