Connecting MAC monitor

I have MAC monitor, 17 inch flat screen with cabinet made from clear plastic. One of the late MAC models. Unfortunately don't know model. It doesn't have even power cord or connector. Only signal cable with connector similar to DVI but little bit bigger with more pins.
Does anybody know the way to test this monitor without latest Apple computer?
Or maybe pinout for this connector?
What is the name of these connectors?

Hi I believe this is used with a special graphics card that feeds 28V DC up the signal cable to power the monitor.

If it is the same model as the ones I looked at they are made by ADI, I found a warning label on the CRT with ADI on it.

I never found any other info or similar ADI models.

I had 3 to repair but gave up in the end.

Thanks Richard for your reply. I didn't open my monitor yet but it looks like it the same model as your monitors.
I found as well pinout for this connector ( its called ADC):

And it looks like very hard to start this monitor without apple computer.

Yes I borrowed a G4 with the card in.

But their are ST IC's on the round video board that you can not find data for.
