That's the same cable as used with the DECstation 2100/3100. A couple
DS3100s I hauled home had a different cable, p/n BC56H-03. This one is
a few inches longer and the cable comes straight into the 50 pin
Centronics connector as opposed to the BC09J which is right angle.

I only had one BC09J cable, and my DS3100 came without internal
cables, so I used a regular 3-device 50-pin ribbon and a $6
50-pin-int/68-pin-suface-mount adapter. It fits the bulkhead slot just
fine.
I cheat.

Apparently the thought was to sell/bundle the 90 degree cable, to force the
purchaser to `upgrade' to the straight cable when it was necessry to plug
in more than one SCSI device. I cursed it soundly when I realized it
obstructed the pass-thru connector on the back of the TK50 I have. As all
my other SCSI toys have the HD connectors, I might have to end up getting a
50-pin centronics-like :) M-F cable to connect things.
