The Qbus sockets on the back of my Vax 4000-100A are DD50 so I guess
DD50 connectors are used on Qbus cables for at least some applications?

It sounds to me like a V.24 adapter cable for something like a DEMSA X.25
router and various other DEC synchronous serial items. This would seem to
be a BC19D-02 from what I can find. Is there a part number stamped on it?
