Is this the same as a PS/2 plug?
No. While they look similar, a PS/2 plug is 6-pin. This is a 4-pin plug, primarily used for S-Video. They are not interchangeable.
Can I use this for a 7-pin S-Video port?
In most cases, yes. A 4-pin male plug will fit into a 7-pin female S-Video port found on many older laptops and video cards, though it will only utilize the standard video pins.
