laplink cable

Hi,

Anyone very knowledgeable about laplink cable. I am going to cut an
unused laplink cable to make some kind of adaptor cable (with
intermediate connector block or something) but I kind of vaguely
remembered that there is less than 25 wires in a laplink cable, with
many pins unconnected. If I find that out after cutting the cable, it
is going to be 1 wasted cable.

Will the laplink cable be useable for the purpose I have indicated?

Thanks in advance

Peter
