Product 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: 1920×1200 @60Hz…. More >>
Mini-DVI to VGA Female Monitor Cable Adapter
Works fine generally speaking, but if the cord is bumped or touched at all, it takes a few seconds for the feed to recalibrate.

I am currently using this cable to connect my Mac Mini to the PC Input of my LCD HDTV. It simply works. It powered on to the optimal resolution and aspect ratio with zero guidance from me.
Be sure to double-check your connectors. You may need a VGA extension cable to finish the connection. This cable ends in a female, and my TV also ends in a female. I happened to have the correct extension cable lying around. This adapter is a bit small to be used by itself anyway.

I don’t know whether I just got shipped the wrong cable, but the end which is supposed to plug into my iMac and/or Macbook definitely does not fit.

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.
