I found this SCSI extension cable on eBay which has 3Com logo on it:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/296323363531

I don't remember 3Com made SCSI devices.
Does anyone know if this is a SCSI cable or it's a cable for 3Com's network devices?
Thanks!

Think it's a stack cable, connecting two hubs or switches without using the front ports.

This. Looks to be a stacking cable for the 5500 series:

Thanks @PD2JK and @OVERK|LL
I was going to purchase the SCSI cable because I need a short SCSI extension cable.
Good I ask here before I purchase it.
