Connectors

[Chris UK]

I have purchased a 17" Studio Display monitor from e-bay, and very nice it looks too. I need to find the right connectors.
I have managed to track down a Belkin product (F2E9142-WHT) which is a ADC/DVI connector. The trouble is, the ADC part is the same as my cable end (ie Male), I need to find a supplier who sells a component that adapts the male end into a female one.
Can anyone help ?

Is this the Apple Studio Display (17-inch ADC) model M7768? Which Mac are you trying to connect it to?

Hi Cory ... the model is #M7649, and the Mac is Power Mac G4 350Mhz/30GB/448Mb RAM OSX Tiger.

OK...

That display has an ADC connector.

As far as the Mac goes...the PM G4 350MHz came with a few different video cards during its life:

(PCI Graphics): ATI Rage 128 w/VGA connector
(AGP Graphics): ATI Rage 128 w/VGA or ATI Page 128 Pro w/DVI-D connector

I assume you have the latter with DVI? This may work:

Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter

However, I do remember some incompatibilities with this adapter...will look to see what they were.

Hi Cory ... you are correct I have the latter. i just looked up Apples recommended adaptor, and spotted that it has the same "gendered" end as my Monitors ie Male.
WhatI need is a Male_Female converter.
I can send you an image of both ends (just to clarify 100%) if you wish?

This is the only solution I can find for you:
