It is possible to connect the Quantum 2626 to a the previous Quantum devices provided the correct Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 bi-directional adapter is used, meaning data can travel both up and down the same cable. While there are many Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapters on the market, Apple so far is the only manufacturer of a bi-directional Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter

 

To make the Quantum 2626 work with a Thunderbolt 2 connection:

  1. Plug the Apple adapter Thunderbolt 3 connector into the back of the Quantum 2626
  2. Plug a Thunderbolt 2 cable into the other end of the Apple adapter. 
  3. Plug the other end of that Thunderbolt 2 cable into an available port on the Quantum, Quantum 2, or Quantum 4848. 
  4. Plug another Thunderbolt 2 cable into the other available port on the Quantum, Quantum 2 or Quantum 4848. 
  5. Plug the opposite end of that Thunderbolt 2 cable into an available Thunderbolt 2 port on your system.

PLEASE NOTE: Thunderbolt 3 adapters from Startech, AZIO, Cable Matters, CY, etc are uni-directional adapters and can only operate while connected directly when the to a computer host and therefore will not work in this configuration. 

Make sure your adapter support bi-directional functionality.
