Q: External monitor

Who can help me about to find the correct info to connect my MacBook Pro via thunderbolt cable to iMac 5k?

I can't understand why it's not possible connecting a mac book retina to a retina iMac

Thanks in advance

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

If you are trying to use the iMac 5k as a display for the Macbook, I don't think it is possible.
Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support

You cannot use the iMac 5K in Target Display Mode, read the link the previous poster provider mentioned and it will clearly state this in:

"The iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Mid 2015) can't be used as Target Display Mode displays."

Sorry to tell you but thats the word.
