I have that cable, but I need a female ADC conection for connect to my Apple TFT. I want to connect my ADC monitor to a VGA.
Therefore my idea is buy an ADC extension cable, cut that and put to my VGA-ADC cable.

It's a really idea?

Thanx.

I don't think it can be done.

The ADC monitor needs a digital signal. The signal that comes out of the VGA port on the computer is analog. Therefore it won't work. (The "D" in ADC stands for digital.) You'll need to get a video card with a ADC output (or at least a DVI out connector, then use an adapter to convert to ADC).
