Can't remember exactly, but it might be either ETC RFU cable (I think that's 6 pin XLR), or possibly Sensor to Console Link cable. Not sure why you would have Link cable in anything over 20ft, which would be sufficiant to go from a booth wall plate to a console, as generally it's hard wired to the racks. Might be for a touring system that wanted the Link system operational.
