That is HIL. (Human interface link)

It's not a PS/2 to HIL converter. That is the box required to connect ANY
keyboards/mice to HP 725, 715/64,80 & 100 workstations. The RJ jack is 10 pins
and I have been looking high and low for a die for my AMP crimper for those
connectors.

The RJ connects to the workstation via a short cable. You plug the
keyboard/mice in via the box. Your choice HIL or PS/2. there is no way to
connect k/m to the above machines without that box or a workaround.
