Can I use this cable to connect a MacBook Pro (Mid 2015) to an iMac 27" (2009). I want to use the iMac as a display.

This should work if the iMac has a Mini Displayport and the MacBook has a Thunderbolt. Press the key combination Command-F2 on the iMac that is to serve as the monitor.

This appears to be a mini display port cable. It is the same as Thunderbolt 2 but the protocol is probably not supported as it requires a dedicated chip in the connector which this cable seems to lack. If this is correct, the term Thunderbolt should be removed from the description.

Good morning, does this cable meet Apple specifications (like art-no 437586) , so that together with a Thunderbolt2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter (art-no 5984812) a Macbook Pro 2014 can be used as a hard drive on a current Macbook? (Migration Wizard). Thank you very much for your answer.

Unfortunately, no! That's what I bought the cable for and that's exactly why it was a bad buy. Kind regards

That should be possible. Could you please tell us which hard drive it is?
