With many boxes of used cables, often there will be
cables that are
DB-25, but with 16 pins missing in the 25 pin connector, often leaving
pins 1-8 and 20, and gaps where other pins could have been.. I call
THAT a DB-9 :-) Similarly, if a DB-25 has 10 pins missing from the 25
pin connector, then I call THAT a DB-15.
That's ... different than I would have expected.
I can see the logic. But I don't think I would have gotten there on my
own without seeing / reading examples.
DA, DC, DE connectors are a different size D shell
than the DB, which is
the one commonly used for a 25 pin cable.
