It's used to connect a router console output to a PC input. Most
commonly found on Cisco routers actually.

It doesn't talk TCP/IP I think. IIRC I used to connect using telnet over
a serial line, and the cable was a weird blue hybrid with a serial jack
on one end and a RJ45 head on the other end. =)
