It's "standard" in that a normal 3-row DB50 crimp connector will crimp onto
a 50-way ribbon cable and be compatible with a standard SCSI centronics-50
or double-row 50-way crimp header on the same cable.
I have a piece of ribbon here with one of each gender of each connector
on it that I use for patching purposes, so I know for a fact that this
works.
