What is the recommended adapter that can be used to connect a 2017 iMac (with ThunderBolt 3 USB-C) to an Apple 27" LED Cinema Display (with Mini DisplayPort)?
iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
For less than $20, using the three Monoprice products listed below (originally assembled by Adam Miller and referenced in the "How to connect the Apple Cinema Display to the new MacBook Pro" article) I now have a solution with my Apple 27" LED Cinema Display connected to my 2017 Apple iMac (Retina 5K, 27") and working flawlessly.

| 3ft 32AWG Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - White | 6006 | $2.99 |
| Mini DisplayPort Coupler (Female to Female) - Straight Type | 6502 | $2.80 |
Had to wiggle around a lot but Willjjv gave me new hope and after a few tries it did work
