It could be, but what kind of measurement do I need to do?

It could be scsi.
Could be null modem.
Could be laplink.
Could be fastlynx.
Could be straight through.
You'd need to probe the pins (all of them) for continuity with a multimeter to know.
ok but if they were scsi what kind of connection should I expect?

thanks but mine is 25 to 25 pin, how can i use your suggestion? (25 to 50) i not understand sorry
From what I'm reading, 25 to 25 is straight through.
If it is 25:25 straight wired it can be used for SCSI.
But I won't try Ultra SCSI over it.
For something like a zip or jazz drive it should be fine.
There's no way to use wide scsi on that cable, but slow narrow should work fine.

Yes, i like to connect an external scsi ZIP drive to an Commodore A590 scsi controller OR to an Blizzard SCSI KIT used in a Blizzard 1230IV and Blizzard 1260 for Amiga 1200.
OR
Connect an external scsi ZIP drive to a Macintosh SE (that have an external scsi connector)

Yes, that should work with that cable if it is as you state 25 to 25, a straight through, all pins one on one connected .
Given a jumper box, a 9 to 25 converter and a gender changer it can also be used for null modem, laplink, or full serial dte to dte, dte to dce etc... just an fyi.
Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.
