There're a lot of different connectors that get
used for composite
monitors. For school use, they want one that can withstand
some abuse,
and will stay on. (When somebody trips over the cord, it
should be strong
enough to pull the entire machine off of the table.)
Heh. That was my first guess too -- but I've never seen this particular thing used on
a composite video signal before. (Well, maybe the L+sync used on b&w monitors...)
My assumption will be (until I can check it out) that these are simply split off of the
original apple RCA plug on the mainboard, and carry the same signal. (I hope this is the
case, since it would be a simple matter of fabricating an adaptor (for which I may have
the parts...).

time to use it,
until Electronics Etc (R.I.P.) came up with an adapter of that plug to
BNC.

I don't see why it wouldn't be.
