Brand NEW Samsung 5 foot DVI - D to DVI - D, male-to-male video cable for LCD TV/Monitors.  

A single-link DVI connector has 18 pins. The male plug has them arranged in two groups of nine pins, with the flat ground bar off to one side. A single-link interface provides one TMDS link.

Cables also have Dual Ferrite Beads.   Look for this when you buy a cable because they are meant to reduce noise.   A ferrite bead is a passive electric component used to suppress high frequency noise in electronic circuits.   They are shown in the last picture.

Also shown are the protective caps that come from factory to protect the ends of the cable in shipping.
