After searching for hours, i finally found out what cable this is. It connects
the 4869 external floppy to the P70 suitcase PS/2. Not of any use to anyone
who doesnt own those two items.

I guess thats how you get "super" in your name. ;)
Further guess is that these cables will make three owners of PS/2 P70
luggables very happy. Being on the other end of a weird cable hunt was no
fun for me, and I ended paying $20 for what I found. The important thing to
me is that things like these cables don't get tossed for lack of finding
the right person.
