Mac Mini to Apple led cinema display

I have a Mac Mini on order and also an older Apple led cinema display with this spec: Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512 MB graphics.


The output cord on the display looks like this, it has one USB, one display output, and one other connector that I have no idea what it is.


What adapter can I buy to allow the Mac Mini to display on the Apple LED display?


I hope I can get display to work with new Mac Mini.

BDAqua – If the cable on the LED Cinema Display is proprietary or non-detachable, I think what the OP might need is a USB-C to female Mini DisplayPort adapter (like the one to which den_thed linked).


Thomas Sullivan 2 – MacTracker indicates that the LED Cinema Display cable has a MagSafe connector – and that the MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) has a MagSafe 2 connector. It sounds like you need this $10 Apple adapter if you want to use the LED Cinema Display to charge that MBP.
