It sounds like terminator power (TERMPWR in the SCSI-1 and SCSI-2
standards).  I think it's pin 25, with 26 being the only even-numbered
line in a 50-pin connector that's not ground.  It's no connect, so you
won't short the terminator power to ground if you plug the connector in
backwards.  I may have even/odd mixed up, but it's the middle pair of
pins.
