The Apple Display Connector (ADC) is a proprietary connector Apple used for their flat panel LCDs and their last CRT display. First implemented in the Power Mac G4 Cube in July 2000, the display connector carries the video signals (analog (VGA) and digital (DVI)), USB, and power from the computer to the monitor all in one cable. This enables the user to be capable of turning on the monitor and computer with only the power button on the monitor. It also reduces that amount of cables on a user's desk as the USB keyboard and mouse can be connected to the display.
The Apple Display Connector was phased out in June 2004 when Apple introduced the aluminum-clad 20", 23", and 30" Cinema Displays, which used DVI connectors.
