This one has something like 72 pins, and is used with some frequency on
multi-port serial configurations. IBM uses them on their 6-port ASCII
Workstation Controllers which fit AS/400 machines, and I have a couple of
DigiBoard MC/8 cards which use this connector for the host-end of the
octopus cable.
See, I get
confused with that second letter. What makes it a DE9, and
not a DB9?
The shell size :
normal high denisty
D : 50 pin (Sun-style SCSI) ???? Yes, it's conventional to give the gender of the
pins. This is confusing
for a number of connector types, including D-series.
I liked another subscriber's idea: use "plug" and "socket". Though
I guess
I could see how this might also be confusing.
