THAT one is labelled
"RS232C"!!!
I asusme it's the PC/AT serial port wiring. Althought i
thought that
RS232C actually specified the DB25 conenctor.
and I have NEVER seen a DE15 used for any kind of serial.
Considering that these cables probably came from an LCD projector, it is
PROBABLY a monitor adapter of some sort.
Somebody clueless may have looked at the DE9 and automatically labelled it
as "RS232" (as a misuse, meaning serial)
(therefore, I
don't trust the [factory] labelling of anything of them)
If I put it on eBay, I'd better call it "DB15 to DB9"
Given that
there are 2 15 pin D conencotrs, that is hardly a useful (and
of ocurse totlalyu inaccurate) description.

ANOTHER typo! Meant to say DE15f to DA15M
or, in eBay speak, "DB15 to DB15" :-(
Sounds liek a Mac monitor adaptor. The DIP swithches
set the video mode IIRC.
I assume so.
Moulded cables are not useful for modificaiton, the
only use is if you
have the evece they work with.
cutting up molded cables and splicing cable is sometimes easier than
trying to work with Mini-DIN plugs!
And these days, it is getting hard to find any non-molded mains plugs.
As for the power cables, I have forgotten
