9.9I found an old DVD player in my parents house and was going to try to use it when I realized it didn't end in a normal USB cable. It looks almost like 2 USB ports connected but it might not be related. Does anyone know what the heck this is?

It's a USB cable with a stacked power connector. It's from older CD and DVD drives mainly. 

 

Old laptops like the Lenovo X40 had them for external drives. You can see the symbols are the same. It's not strictly proprietary, but it's certainly not standard.
