Hello jdcollins2,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding you'd like to use Target Display Mode with your iMac but need to know what cable to use. I'm happy to help.

You will need to use a Thunderbolt cable or Mini Display Port cable for Target Display Mode. Please review the link below for additional steps and information:
