correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik what you're talking about is a so
called "null-modem" cable which is serial in contrast to printer cables
which use parallel ports.
The only thing those connectors have in common is their shape and that
they both have 25 pins, however a serial link cable only has masculine
connectors whereas those used in a parallel cable are feminine.
