Description:

Use this cable adapter to connect your Mac to an external monitor with VGA input. Plug the Mini-DVI end into your Mac, and connect the VGA connector to a VGA (male to male) cable, then plug the cable into your monitor's VGA input jack. Compatible models: 12-inch PowerBook G4, Intel-based iMac, the MacBook Intel-based laptop, the Intel-based Xserve, and the 2009 Mac Mini.
Helpful Notes: This device is intended to function more as an adapter than as a cable, meaning its short length WILL NOT reach from your Mac to the monitor. It will need to be used with a VGA cable (sold separately).
In addition, this adapter works only with Mini-DVI ports, not with Micro-DVI or Mini Display Ports. To quickly check what port you have: this adapter has a U-shaped connector that will match the U-shape found on Mini-DVI ports.
Highest resolution supported: 1920x1200 @60Hz.
Please note that Mini-DVI adapters are only compatible with Apple computers purchased prior to October 2008. Any Apple computers purchased after October 2008 will require Mini DisplayPort cables.

Features:
  • Features a Mini-DVI connector and a female VGA connector

  • Compatible with the iMac (Intel), Original White / Black MacBook 2006 to 2008, and PowerBook G4 (12"), & Mac Mini.

  • Use with a VGA cable to connect to an external monitor with a VGA input jack

5Just as good a Apple - 1/4 the price!  Mar 20, 2010
By Chris J. Moore "Figyur 8"
I've used several of these - don;t waste your money with Apple - these are perfect.
I've used with several different Macbooks and Mac Minis and no issues whatsoever.

5Works great.  May 19, 2009
By P. Risko "Amazonaholic"
Works fine. It's just like the Apple version. If you have a macbook and want to hook it to your flat screen tv... this is the ticket.

5No Problems/Works just fine!  May 07, 2010
By Ravi Maharaj
As with buying any generic product, i was apprehensive about this at first. I ended up just giving it a try & it works just fine - no problems whatsoever @ a fraction of the cost of OEM product.

1this did not fit my macbook pro  Apr 16, 2012
By larry yien
I was extremely unhappy with this product. I was told to buy a mini dvi to vga female cable for my mac book pro to give a keynote presentation for a national organization. I thought I was being extra prepared for the presentation as the AV support at the hotel should have had the required cables for their projector.

As it was they didn't have the cable so I pulled out mine out, it had arrived just before my departure to the convention. Well, the cable didn't fit my mini dvi slot in my computer and apparently there are different size mini dvi slots and cables? It would have been nice to know that before placing the order. I would have been better off paying the extra money at a local store to get the right cable for my Macbook pro.

Beyond that the customer service was poor. I explained the problem I was having and that I wanted to return the cable. The rep told me that I would have to pay shipping for the return and if I wanted a RA #, of course I'd like a RA # that was the whole reason I was contacting them. I never got a RA # and I still have a cable that doesn't work. I am still hoping to return the item but I fear that it will cost more to return it than the cost of the cable. In the end it was a waste of money and a wasted effort.
