Whats the name of this old cord?

Need to find a replacement.


Connects an old Apple 30” HD Cinema Display 65W 90W 150W POWER ADAPTER to a MacPro (10.6.8). Woot, still runs! (But monitor is starting to cut out. I wanna try a new cord before a new adapter)


Cord is at right in this pic found online - one end has 2 thumb screws connector, other has 1 USB & 1 racetrack connector. (Extra points - Whats the tech name for these connections?))
