How to connect an Apple Display to a USB-C MacBook

There are several DisplayPort (and HDMI) cables, but they all require a monitor to have an adapter plug. Apple's monitors have either a hard-wired Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt cable (which uses the same form factor as Mini DisplayPort) with a jack on the end.
One potential solution is to get a Mini DisplayPort adapter. Monoprice makes a female-to-female Mini DisplayPort coupler to chain cables, but it consistently receives negative reviews as it apparently only works with the 1.0 standard, rather than the widely supported newer 1.2 standard that's required for newer monitors.
