RS232 null modem cable (DB25-DB25)
Use this cable between two DTE devices (for instance two computers).
It is the 25-pin form of the RS-232 to RS-232 connection: two computers, or a computer and an instrument that is wired as a DTE. Pin numbers follow the DB25 RS232 pinout; for 9-pin ports use the DB9-DB9 null modem cable, for a mixed pair the DB9-DB25 one.
