[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1837649, member: 396914"] @Ratsima, your sarcasm is noted. Not appreciated, but noted. As for your question, the answer is pretty simple. At Apple.com they describe the iMac and even have a picture to help. Here is part of that image: [ATTACH=FULL]30785[/ATTACH] Note the clever little line pointing to those two slots you mentioned showing that they are Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports. You didn't say what the other end of the cable you want is going to be plugged into, but it could be any of the list in your previous post, as long as you have the appropriate adapter that may be required. So, based on what Apple has so thoughtfully provided, the other end of the USB-C cable could be any of the following protocols and standards: [LIST] [*] [*]DisplayPort [*]Thunderbolt (up to 40 Gbps) [*]USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) [*]Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI, and VGA supported using adapters (sold separately) [/LIST] So, if the other end of the cable is a monitor with a display port, your sentence would be: Find a USB-C to Display Port cable and plug it in to the two devices. For a Thunderbolt monitor, it would be: Find a USB-C to Thunderbolt cable and plug it in to the two devices. For a USB 3.1 device: Find a USB-C to USB 3.1 cable and plug it in to the two devices. They even warned that for other protocols (Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI, and VGA) you need an adapter. I'm not sure how Apple could have made it any more clear. [/QUOTE]
