I came across a video connector I haven't seen before. Its on a Dell Optiplex Core 2 machine and is on a x1300 pro video card. I have a picture of the end of the special video cable that adapts it to a regular video cable. Keep in mind you are looking at the cable end, male, and not the video card end, female.

Can anyone identify it?
Thanks

Digital. Most cards now are digital or DVI connections and if you have a monitor thats still anilog, there is an adaptor that connects from anilog to digital.

That isn't normal DVI digital. That may be a proprietary apple connector, but not a standard PC connector.

It's something Dell uses on the video cards they sell that support dual monitors. There are Y-cables they're supposed to send you along with one of those PCs that split it into 2 DVI or VGA connections. Sometimes they don't send you the Y-cable and you have to ask for it.
