Having acquired and replaced the pigtail cable for my video card, the red channel on my main monitor works again. My eyes are happy to see that.

Molex: It puts the red in.

I think it's a standard term, but maybe not. Two leads come out of a single connector, looking like a young girl's pigtails (at least in theory).

A pigtail is usually just a short piece coming out to hook other stuff to. http://www.grote.com/tech/dictionary/ for example. You've got a Y, or a splitter, or something.
