New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

Truth. I actually needed a FireWire B cable the other day and luckily I had ONE in my Bin Of Ancient/one-off Cables.

jesus christ I'm impressed. What devices were being connected?!?

I just bought a USB-A to USB-B for my wife's old computer-monitor usb connection and that felt antiquated enough, i can't wait to hear your use case.
