Are we talking about retrostandards?  

Considering what the standards were at the time that was a sane cable!  PCs
barely had disks and the s100 systems that did have st506 controllers used
all mannor of cable and differing connectors at the controller end!

Looking back the PCxt was wildly out of synce with current PCs.
