I have a cable with two heads on one end and a rj45 phone connector on the
other end. On the two-headed side is a 25-pin ( serial female RS232 ?) and
9-pin (serial female RS232 ?)
The 25 pin adapter has a GEM95 sticker on it.
What was this cable used for?

I've got a couple of similar adapters with 25 pin DSUB and an RJ25
(6p6c) receptacle on the other. They were used in office environments
where one could share the telephone closet wiring with serial data.
I don't know if this is the case for yours, however.

Thanks Chuck. Makes sense. I am sorting cables (fun) and I was unsure
about this one.
