Does a Thunderbolt

I am thinking about buying an OWC USB-C dock for my Macbook (USB-C) Late 2015. But it would be great if I could also use the same dock as an extension for my 2013 Macbook Pro. For that, I need to convert the Thunderbolt-2 on the Macbook Pro to USB 3.1Gen2 (USB-C). Does such a cable exist?

I actually tried (and it worked) on the bigger OWC dock the following setup:

MBP 2013 - Thunderbolt-2 - Apple Thunderbolt 2-3 adapter - Thunderbolt 3 cable - OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock

With that setup, the 2013 MBP was able to drive a monitor and connect to a USB device. But sadly, while the OWC dock supports Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 3 includes USB 3.1Gen2, the Macbook refused to drive the OWC dock over USB 3.1Gen2. So, I cannot use the bigger OWC dock for both older machines.

So, now I am thinking about using the USB-C dock (which will work with the Macbook) and some way to drive that USB-C dock with the Thunderbolt 2 of the MBP 2013.
