I have one of these that I use to hook up a 22" Apple Cinema Display to my BFGTech 260 GTX video card on my standard PC. Basically this works the opposite of the cheap adapters, that which are for hooking up a laptop or desktop with an ADC port to a standard monitor with DVI in. I wouldn't have gone this way but the guy who sold me his old Cinema Display threw it in for free, and it does "just work".

Also, if you don't intend to use those USB ports on the back of your monitor you can skip plugging in the USB cable. The only downside is this hookup doesn't seem to allow the power button on your Apple Cinema Display to turn off.

One last note of caution, if you do not have an Apple Cinema Display with an ADC cable that you want to plug into a DVI-out on your video card, you don't need this item. In fact you only need it for 3 of the Apple Cinema Displays made in the last decade, models: M8149, M8536, and A1038. These are all polycarbonate models (i.e. they use the white plastic, not the aluminum body). Your model number is typically on the back near the bottom in super tiny type.

Also, the box is huge, I threw it on the ground behind my case, but if you put this on your desktop, be prepared, it's as large as a standard router or cable modem.

I bought a new mac Mini and desired to use my screen from an old G5 that had an ADC male connection. I needed a male ADC to a male DVI connector that would connect to a DVI to HDMI converter. No one at the Apple store could help. So I went on line to the Amazon blogs and comments about this adapter. After much search I concluded this was the only adapter that might work. I am happy to report that it works great except for the on/off switch on the screen. All of the USB ports on the screen and keyboard work as well. Apple built this adapter for another purpose. Who knew it would help me avoid planned obsolescence.

Gosh, remember when people would solder boards in their moms basement and write codes themselves? How about when the only personal computers available all had proprietary products usually soldered to the board? NO? Me either, I was born in the 80's... Nevertheless, a very small amount of companies still do proprietary nonsense in their manufacturing. That model was ditched a LONG time ago in favor of the more industry and end-user friendly plug-and-play standards... it's also been proven to be more profitable.

Apple still does a lot of proprietary nonsense like having a monitor that draws it's power from a non-standard DVI jack... In some ways it's ok to do this, but in most it's just dumb. So a computer donated to our school had this socket on the back. There was a nice Apple Cinema monitor with it, both Apple products... GREAT, QUALITY. well, yes and no. The cinema monitor and computer are great, but they don't like each other, because the tower has a proprietary socket that was abandoned after a couple years by Apple.

This all means that I had to find out why it didn't work, and then figure out how to make it work. I had to buy this nifty cable which works great... and since this is a review of the cable, not of Apple, I give it 5 stars. Honestly though, it's a bad business model that uses unprofitable, and dead practices, which force an end user to buy an adapter to fix a companies mistake.

The build quality is great for this product and Apple products in general, just frustrating having to buy this.

I bought a Mac mini and wanted to use it with my old Cinema Display. Apple sent me three different adapters that did not work. This was my last hope. Fortunately it works perfectly. Amazingly no one of the people I spoke to at Apple was aware that this adapter existed. Amazon came through again for me.

I recently purchased a used Mac Pro to replace my crashed G5 unit. I did not do my research and when I got it home realized that the male ADC plug for my 23 inch cinema display would not work with the DVI plug for the Mac Pro. Of course the configuration had to be the one with the power supply. I was lucky to find a used one in good condition. It works great and once again a happy Mac user.

This adapter definitely works but it is so frustrating that I had to buy it in the first place, why isn't there a less expensive way to connect my mac laptop to my mac monitor? It is also extremely large, just a warning.

After purchasing an inconceivable number of dongles and trying a dozen different solutions to connect my wife's MacBook Air to an old Apple cinema display, this worked. Perfectly. In two seconds. Here's how it worked:

1) I plugged in the DVI to ADC adapter power cable (see image 1; the power cable is the black cable on the left).

2) I connected the cable coming from the cinema display directly into the adapter as pictured (see image 1; the cinema display cable is the top cable on the right).

3) I then connected a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter the relevant cable coming out of this adapter, and I plugged the MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapter into the relevant port in the MacBook Air, as pictured (see image 2; the adapter is in the upper-right corner of the image). For the MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapter, see for example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W5Q048A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

4) I then plugged in the USB cable into the MacBook Air (again, image 2) and plugged an external keyboard into the back of the cinema display.

That was it. Easy. Works great.
