Thunderbolt 2 does not have enough power to directly connect a Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered device like the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader. However, you can connect the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader if you have an intermediate Thunderbolt 3 device in the chain that is wall-powered, for example the Sonnet SxS Pro Card Reader.

Thunderbolt 2 Mac----Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter----Wall-powered Thunderbolt 3 Device----CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader

Note that the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is reversable and will support a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and a Thunderbolt 3 device (as well as a Thunderbolt 3 Mac and a Thunderbolt 2 device).

Windows needs to be trained to identify CFast cards. You can train Windows in two ways:
1. Boot with the CFast Reader attached (cards do not need to be plugged in).
2. Plug in two CFast cards, and then hot-plug the Thunderbolt cable to the CFast Reader.
After either one of these training methods, Windows will continue to automatically recognize inserted CFast cards.

If you hot-plug the CFast Reader Thunderbolt cable without CFast cards installed, then Windows will not recognize cards.
