Could I use this cable to turn my 2012 iMac as an external display for my M2 Mac Mini? null

No.  There is a way to do it using third party software/and an adapter but I personally don’t know how well it works.  No monetary gain or plug as I haven’t used it and probably won’t but look up astropad for this problem.

Also note target display mode only works with other Mac’s and if they are both using that thunderbolt 2 design. Apple removed target display ages ago.

Good luck!

Hi Malikmaurice! Unfortunately, the Insignia™ Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (NS-PAMDHD) won’t work for using your 2012 iMac as an external display for your M2 Mac Mini. This adapter is designed to convert a Mini DisplayPort output to an HDMI input, which is the opposite of what you need.
