Where's this cable used for?

So a ran into a demolished cable that once had at last one of this Amphenol T3401 sockets. It's used now for some obscure connections in an ancient looking installation but I'm sure it's not its original purpose. Apparently I found the connector but though googling around for quite some time, I did find neither a cable assembly nor the original application of this connector. Can anyone tell more about this thing?

Most likely from a studio quality reel to reel.

That can be used in a variety of things.. Most likely very low R.F. down to DC. Encoders, Load Cells, strain gauge, audio or just a simply quick connect to a low current device.

I provided that one because it gives application information.

"The C 091 Series connectors are used in a wide variety of industries and equipment. Some of these include industrial machines and controls, data processing, instrumentation and test equipment, medical devices, telecommunication?s network and equipment, plus outdoor and marine applications."

It is also rated IP-65

It is not 'made for one thing'.

I don't know, off hand, who could make a cable for you but you'd have to specify the cable as well.

Microphone cords for old CB/Ham radios?

Our company did a lot of work for/with the Carl Zeiss organization. They used these connectors quite a bit in their scientific, electronic and medical equipment. The connectors were originally a German branch of Amphenol. We bought them through Sennheiser though wasn't sure if that was just the importer. They are also known as Tuchel Electronics. I believe that Fischer Electronics (also German) made equivalents.

The molded cables were manufactured in bulk and were generally custom built. Our organization never had the quantities to justify such. We used the simple solder/strain relief/rubber boot types. Oppie
