The only Commodore factory cables with 25-pin DSUB connectors are the SX-64
keyboard cables, and the terminal end of the C128D keyboard connector.
However, the SX-64 keyboard cable is 25-pin on both ends, and the 128D
keyboard connector is a part of the keyboard. I've never heard of any others
that Commodore themselves manufactured.

The thing that this sounds most like is a standard X1541 cable but Commodore
never made those themselves. If it is, the connection is between a PC LPT
port and the disk drive.
