Mouse Cable

Hey, What is the proper name for the mouse cable (The round one)? I thought it was a serial cable ...or is it a PS/2 cable? Kevin.

Aye...or sometimes called a DIN connector. JFYI you can get adapters...see attached.
Now the real question is why I know this and why I am replying....because I can I guess
