I would venture to say that if you are over a certain age, you don’t know what this is, let alone, what function it serves.
Care to guess? And while you’re at it, get off my lawn.

All hail the great Token Ring!

Bingo! [laughs]
Token Ring. UDC (Universal Data Connector) I think. Still used today in my old company – though with Ethernet convertors or something like that.
Correct! I had to post this, as @duffbert made me remember that we have quite a few of these still on the walls. Not used, but still there.
I’m glad they knew the answers… I’m a developer and had no clue. 🙂
The last one of these I unplugged was just three weeks ago. Old, but not dead. They will outlast Quickr 😉
Token Ring, last used it in 1994
Actually very clever “androgynous” connector — connect any to any – no male/female difference. And I’m old, but have only seen them in legacy cables under desks here and there 😉
