What is this cable?

[SImoHayha]

So I found this cable. It looks like this.

That is a VGA cable but are you talking about a serial data cable:

It looks kinda like that like that however it still has another five row of pins below the fourth one.

 

I'll try to take a picture

That is a serial cable. The three rows is VGA.

Edit: Misunderstood what you said.

It is a standard VGA cable. That pin is sometimes omitted, as it is not used.

[Curufinwe_wins]

VGA does look like that yes. Some of the pins even today are unused (if I remember correctly).

It's a VGA with a broken pin.

That sounds like just a VGA cable then there are 14 pin versions where one pin isn't used or taken out:

Last time I've seen one with a missing pin was like 10+ years ago. Just happened to have one, plugged it in and my desktop is shifted towards the side, leaving a huge black spot on the monitor.

I have plenty of them, they work fine.
