M4 Mac Mini works with 27” Apple Thunderbolt Display

The display indeed has a cable built in.

I have two old thunderbolt displays that I've used for the last 5 years with my iMac Pro. I had to purchase adapters but they've always worked. I just purchased a brand new Mac mini and although the machine shows my monitor on the displays panel inside the settings, the monitor is black with no picture. Did you have this problem when you first connected yours or did they just start right up?

Has anyone tried to hook up 2 x 27” Apple Thunderbolt Display to the Mac Mini M4? Is it just plug and play from two T3 to T2 adapter? Thank you in advance
 
I've got one 27" Thunderbolt display and one 27" Studio display connected to my M4 Mini, so I would expect that 2 x 27" Thunderbolt displays should work just fine.

Thank you. The Thunderbolts I have are connected together with a daisy-chain and only use one T2 port. I ordered two T3 to T2, but I'm not sure if it's possible to connect them individually or do they have to be daisy-chained?

They should still work when daisy-chained. But individually should work too.

Mine shows up. But occasionally when I use the monitor on my MacBook Pro (14" M1 Pro), I need to allow it to connect from a little window that pops up before it will display anything.
 
I am using 3 Displays, 2 Thunderbolt and 1 Cinema with the Adapter from Apple, works, But one of my Thunderbolt Displays shut down at several time, most only for seconds but sometime komplett, Than I must disconnect the display and connect again, sometimes using the other Adapter. Sometimes USB is lost at the monitor, coming back after minutes. Cause there is no resetting the Parameter-Ram on the Mac mini m4 the M4 always know the first Connection.
The best I realized , the Cinema-Display got usb without connecting USB, crazy. I think the tolerant of the Parameters Apple is controlling are to small. I am thinking to make Sequoia new to get new Parameters. I love Apple
