These guys don't know what they're talking about...
This cable is MALE to MALE as said in the description. KVM cables and monitor cables should be using the same ends, MALE. As kvm cables are made to go specifically into your computer and into the switch, which usually have FEMALE ends.
Male ends are the connectors with the pins, Female ends are the connectors with the holes. This cable definitely comes with male ends. I almost tried to cancel my order because of these 2 reviews below me thinking I bought the wrong device, but when I got it, I was relieved they were wrong and the cables are working just fine.
It Is A KVM Cable, Not A Monitor Cable
KVM Cables have 2 female ends because one end connects to the output of your video card and one end connects to the input of the KVM Switch, (both male). It is the proper setup for KVM switches, and most likely is what you're looking for if you have a KVM Switch.
Probably not the right cable for you
This cable has TWO FEMALE ENDS. This is very unlikely to be what you need, unless some special circumstance applies to you. Normal monitors have a femal attachment. Normal computers have a male attachment. Normal monitor cables have a male side and a female side. KVM switches mimic this, having a female attachment as a monitor would. Unless you have some unusual setup, find a different cable.
