That looks like an old Mac modem cable (RS-422 <> RS-232), different

The Macintosh (and some old Sun hardware) serial port uses a 8-pin
Mini-DIN, a different pinout than other more common Mini-DIN
connectors (S-Video, PS/2 keyboard, etc).

If you're digging through old Sun get and want to get an IPX or CP1500
working, you'll need one of these.
