[VT320 cabling]
which normally
I've always called them MMJs (Modified Modular Jack IIRC).
Does anyone know which of us (if either) is nearer the truth?
On mine, the connector lacks any designation; however, the
cable says "DECconnect Office Cable".

Separate DB25 (female or male) with DEC cable offset

Yuck I have
some of these, either miniDin9 or close on one end, looks like
RJ11 on the other (hoped they were serial cables for Seiko label printers),
but clearly marked DECconnect Office Cable. Rats.
DECconnect Office Cable is just what it says -- a cable. A flat, 6 wire
cable IIRC. You could buy a reel of it from DEC and use it how you liked
-- not necessarily for linking up DEC machines.
So your cables could have been designed for just about anything.

Hi!
On mine, the connector lacks any designation; however, the
cable says "DECconnect Office Cable".
It is MMJ, but AFAIK that's just the Jack itself and not the whole
cable. DEC has called the whole Cable a DECconnect Office Cable. And I
think it's the best serial cable I've ever seen...
