It’s confusing. It’s a technical spec and the wrong use can be confusing, and can cause you to discover you have the wrong part at an inconvenient time. It’s a case where “size matters”. It used to be quite common to see a serial port wir

That's not a "DB"-19. The DB shell is much wider, sized to accommodate up to 25 pins. It's more likely a DA-19, or maybe a DE-19. Or, as the author specified their own dimensions, an unofficial variant. https:/&
