What's the other end of it hooked to?

Looks like a S-video cable

No, it's a 5 pin DIN...probably an old ass keyboard. Even before PS/2

I guess it could be old ass audio or video.

Probs

Old ass cable.

Is it for that keyboard on your desk?

Other uses

The 5/180° connectors are commonly used for the

SYNC interface for electronic musical instruments,
MIDI interfaces for electronic musical instruments,
Serial ports in the original Apple IIc personal computer,
In the original IBM PC, PC/XT and PC/AT, as well as the Amiga, for the computer keyboard cable (this connector fell out of use in the mid nineties as the ATX form factor used the PS/2 connector instead).
The original IBM PC also used this connector type for its cassette port—right next to the keyboard port using the same connector type.
Audio in the original HME wireless communicators, it is the headset connector for (Tx & Rx) Inbound and Outbound audio for Drive Through Restaurants
Controlling tilt of UMTS Antennas (Antenna Interface Standards Group)[6]
Connecting two controllers for radio controlled model aircraft together for training purposes.


/e I'm guessing it's an old keyboard connector?

/ee If it is, they make adapters from 5pin DIN to PS/2

It's old as shit. Its a mechanical keyboard from the 90s, I picked it up at a yard sale with a Mac llsi computer. It won't even fit into any of the computer ports so idk what to think of it, there's 2 currently on ebay one for 160 or best offer in working condition and one that's had the cord cut completely off and it's yellowing, was sold for about 60$. The serial id number is : GJJ4AKEAT - IOIOSI

And yes it is before ps/2 that is why I'm having a hard time identifying it

It's a 5pin DIN connector.


/e Or called 5/180 cause it only forms a half circle.

AND...
