unknown cable

Posted by: leosadvs on 2010-12-10 16:23:48 Hi, i found this cable in the street, looks like midi or something like that, anyone knows what exactly is? or for what is?

Posted by: mac-man6 on 2010-12-10 17:26:28 I think it's an adapter for really old keyboards to a PS2 connection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_keyboard

Posted by: Unknown_K on 2010-12-10 17:45:43 AT to PS/2 keyboard but its not a converter because both ends are male (KVM cable probably).

Posted by: leosadvs on 2010-12-10 17:47:57 But Apple branded? looks like a generic apple serial cable but with the "AT keyboard" on one side Edit:

Posted by: Unknown_K on 2010-12-10 18:21:58 Hmm now I am stumped. Is there any numbers printed on the cable anywhere?

Posted by: Unknown_K on 2010-12-10 18:27:12 Ok got it: http://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp?DataName=AM15-10&IsListing=YES Part Number Description AM15-10 Apple IIC - Imagewriter 10 Ft. Din 5 Male to Mini Din 8 Male (Custom)
