This article describes the Belkin ADC to DVI connector cable, available through the Apple Store, which allows you to connect either an Apple Cinema Display or Apple Studio Display with a DVI connector to a Power Mac G4 computer with an Apple Display Connector (ADC).
DISCUSSION
The original Apple Cinema Display and the Apple Studio Display-which use the digital video interface (DVI) connector-were designed to work with the graphics card in the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) computer. The graphics card in later Power Mac G4 computers utilizes an Apple Display Connector (ADC) video card. Refer to article 58692: " Power Mac G4: Display Compatibility " for images and additional information on the video connectors.
Belkin offers an ADC to DVI cable adapter that allows you to connect either monitor to a computer with an ADC video card. Refer to Table 1 to determine compatibility. Figures 1 through 3 offer views of the cable adapter.

3. This adapter is designed only to allow DVI based displays to be connected to an ADC video card. This adapter does not allow you to connect ADC displays to a video card with a DVI port.
