PowerBookMedic carries one that appears to be a normal SATA cable it might be reasonable to get a new regular SATA cable of appropriate length and try that. IFixit doesn't carry a specific SATA cable for a 2010 iMac. This is a stunt that's probably not worth worrying about unless the drive doesn't work with the cable you already have but just in case. I got a replacement from iFixit, and it worked perfectly.

One way to approach this issue is to format the SSD externally and install an OS on it before installing it inside the computer. If you leave the old external drive attached when the iMac restarts into the new OS, you'll get an opportunity to transfer all your user accounts and applications from your old system. If you have the old hard drive you pulled out when you swapped the SSD in, you can attach that drive to the computer with a USB or FireWire adapter/case, boot from that, then format the SSD, download the OS installer and run it on the internal drive. The installer has a copy of Disk Utility, which you can use to format the internal SSD you can then run the installer and you'll get a plain-vanilla El Capitan system. If you have access to another working Mac, you can download an OS X 10.11.3/El Capitan installer from the App Store and then clone the installer to a thumb drive. In order to set up the new drive, you have to boot from something else to get access to the formatting tool (Disk Utility) and an OS installer. The flashing ? is the sign that the iMac can't find a bootable OS if you attach a bootable drive, the iMac will grab onto it and boot from that drive. Did you replace the existing hard drive cable with a shiny new cable?ġ) and 2) If you've installed a brand new, unformatted drive without attaching a drive with a bootable operating system, then the computer has no drive to boot from at all.
