In the title complex, [CdI(2)(C(16)H(12)N(2)O(2))(2)], the Cd(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is four-coordinated by two N atoms from symmetry-related 2-(2-fur-yl)-1-(2-furyl-meth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands and two I atoms in a distorted tetra-hedral configuration. The benzimidazole rings in adjacent mol-ecules are parallel, with an average inter-planar distance of 3.486 Å. The I atom is disordered over two sites in a 0.85 (5):0.15 (5) ratio.
