Under Windows, you can use USBview.

http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip This is actually a genuine Microsoft tool, but it's almost impossible to find on any MS site. It's too useful not to have!

For Linux:- http://www.kroah.com/linux-usb/ Is very good, but you need to build from source.  In truth, it's a modified fork of the source for the above Microsoft program. You also need to run it with root privileges, or use sudo from the users command line, or gksu in a desktop launcher.

If there is anything similar for Mac's, I have no knowledge.  Perhaps the Linux source could be persuaded to build on a Mac?  But how useful it would be, I don't know, as Mac's are based on BSD, not Linux, the devil is in the detail etc.

The cable does not know and does not care which program runs on a computer it is plugged into.

The cable you have should work fine IF the cable hardware is supported by MAC OS.

In linux there are commands like lsusb and lshw which would tell what USB devicee are plugged in.

That is how I found out the type USB cable I had.
