THUNDERBOLT on 7810
Today I ordered a 7810 with the Thunderbolt option. Can anyone tell me what the external connector will be? So far I have heard there is a "Thunderbolt 2" style... and a "Thunderbolt 3" style. Supposedly the 3 style is a common connector renamed for this use.
Also, I see DP cables shown in various threads... what are these all about?
My goal here is to connect this new 7810 Thunderbolt (?) computer to a peripheral device that uses a Thunderbolt 2 connector.
Any help would much appreciated! Thanks - Rob

Thunderbolt 2 looks like mini display port, Thunderbolt 3 is USB C type connector. The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices — such as external hard drives and Thunderbolt docks — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your MacBook Pro.
