On newer DVI-based displays lacking ADC, Apple still opted for a single " ganged cable" that connects the separate signal cables to each other so they cannot tangle. The power limit was an important factor for Apple to abandon ADC when it launched the 30-inch (76 cm) Apple Cinema HD Display. The ADC carries up to 100 W of power, an insufficient amount to run most 19-inch (48 cm) or bigger CRTs widely available during ADC's debut, nor can it run contemporary flat panels marketed for home entertainment (many of which support DVI or VGA connections) without an adapter. This change necessitated a passive ADC to DVI adapter to use a DVI monitor. On some models of Power Mac G4 the ADC connector replaced the DVI connector.

The Apple DVI to ADC Adapter, which cost $149US at launch but was in 2002 available for $99US, takes USB and DVI connections from the computer, adds power from its own integrated power supply, and combines them into an ADC output, allowing ADC monitors to be used with DVI-based machines.

The Apple Display Connector is physically incompatible with a standard DVI connector. This single processor Power Mac G5 was discontinued soon after in June 2005. An ADC port was still included with the Power Mac G5 until April 2005, when new models meant the only remaining Apple product with an ADC interface was the single processor Power Mac G5 introduced in October 2004. It was used in later versions of the Apple Studio Display, including the final 17" CRT model, and most versions of the widescreen Apple Cinema Display, after which Apple adopted standard DVI connectors on later models.įirst implemented in the July 2000 Power Mac G4 and G4 Cube, ADC disappeared from displays in June 2004 when Apple introduced the aluminum-clad 20" (51 cm), 23" (58 cm), and 30" (76 cm) Apple Cinema Displays, which feature separate DVI, USB and FireWire connectors, and their own power supplies. The Apple Display Connector ( ADC) is a proprietary modification of the DVI connector that combines analog and digital video signals, USB, and power all in one cable.
