Answer: SCSI

Explanation:

Hi, searching for the answer I found the picture (attached below).

It's an SCSI (small computer system interface) type of cable, because they usually are a pair of ribbons with two or more 50, 60, or 80 pin connectors attached at each end.

This type of technology has been largely replaced by SATA nowadays.
