Replacement thunderbolt cable for 27 inch Apple Display

I have a ten-year-old 27 inch display connected to my MacBook Pro (2021) using a thunderbolt3 to 2 adapter. The thunderbolt connector has been taped up for a couple of years and has finally packed in.

I know Apple no longer supplies the monitor to Mac cable with the split power/thunderbolt cables. Is there any other way I can restore this wonderful display to life? It would be a shame to abandon it simply because the cable has worn out!

Is there a third party cable and if so what port in the back of the display would it use?

If it's the Apple Thunderbolt display it will have a Thunderbolt port (Lightning bolt icon) on the back. You can connect from that to the Thunderbolt 3 adapter, to the computer's Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port using a Thunderbolt 2 cable.

It is an Apple Thunderbolt Display (27 inch) model, reference MC914ZM/B. There is another reference on the original bill which I imagine might be a purchase number rather than model number SC02M20UUF2GC (I bought it here, in France).

Please provide the exact model of Display you have. It can be found on the underside of the display in most cases.
