the original Serial connectors used DB-25 connectors, it seems
people, not knowing the significance of the letter "B" (the shell size),
began to call all D-sub connectors "DB" connectors. Instead of
correctly saying DB-25, and DE-9 we have called all serial connectors
DB-. Today "DB-9" really means DE-9. Today you will see DE-9 connectors
sold as DB-9 more often than the correct terminology.
The letter
after the D refers to the shell size, with DB referring to the common 25
pin size and DE for the 9 pin size. The error is so often repeated that
there is no fixing it.
