What’s that, the company infamous for being restrictive as hell in regards to usability, interoperability, repair, and even infamously went to court to defend their right to throttle their consumer’s hardware capabilities to force them to upgrade isn’t supporting their legacy hardware?
Apple never sold this dongle. Belkin did. The video card typically has two connectors and this allows you to use a second standard monitor, which was not common at the time.
I’m fairly certain that Apple’s dongles connect an ADC monitor to a DVI video card. The Belkin connector does the opposite. I’m not positive Apple didn’t make a similar Adapter but i know I paid more like $30 for the Belkin adapter I bought for a PowerMac G4 tower.

ADC is an Apple proprietary connector and Apple did sell the dongles for $149 & $99 back when.
