Wow... I've seen similar connectors, but not 14-pin... it might be a serial link connector, I would say mid-80's era, but I don't have one like here at work.
 
and what is this thing used for? must be something old...
did you think of replacing it with DB connectors?
 
Thanks for all your suggestion, I think it may be some kind of SCSI cable. The problem is I dont know how to link it to a DB25 connector. I need to solder it to DB25 to make it a single cable, so that one side is this one,the other side is DB25.
 
I have seen this type connector, but not in this size. We use them in the telepnone industry, most especially for station wiring to multi-line key sets, and other analog voice/signal applications. The most common variety is 25 pair (50 pin), but I have seen them up to 32 pair (64 pin). All are double row and come in male & female styles. The term used to describe them was always "cinch" but I think that referred to the original manufacturer. Also notice it has the same basic configuration as a standard "Centronics" printer interface (just not as many pins), so it could possibly a condensed version of a centronics printer interface cable. You may want to look online for telephone cable suppliers such as GreyBar Electric or Anixter for a match.
