In spite of the reviews, I purchased this cord based on the picture showing a 15 pin cable. What arrived was a 14 pin. Was told that the #9 pin wasn't necessary with newer computers and televisions, but since I have older items, it was necessary to have that pin. If you have older computer and television that you want to connect, this is NOT the cord for that purpose and won't work. Be sure to check with the seller before purchasing to make sure the cord matches the picture, if you dare...
