This cable is MALE to MALE as described. KVM cables and monitor cables must use the same ends, MALE. Because KVM cables are specifically designed to connect to your computer and switch, which typically have FEMALE ends. Plug ends are pin connectors, socket ends are hole connectors. This cable definitely comes with male ends. I almost tried to cancel my order thinking I had bought the wrong unit but when I received it I was relieved that they were wrong and the cables work fine.
