Unclear point about the connections on PCB | 7 February, 2023

Greetings,

I have a card that I want do the design and get the gerber. I believe the connection ports on the left are RS232.

On the other side of the card the connection lines are clear, what I mean is I can easily see the which line goes from where to where.

But on the side that I have attached, I didnt understand the thick golden line. What is the purpose of it and what is the meaning of making it one thick line combining all the lines between left and right side ?

Any help would be appreciated:)

is there any convenient way to understand which pins are connected on RS232 without removing the connectors?

thanks for the reply @MagyarT

Yours could be non-standard.

My memory had said, 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 and 7 to 7. But other pins are assigned in the standard. I don't know if all are always needed.

Greetings all, I did some measuring and found out that, thick golden line connects metal cases around RS232 pins (plaese check the new picture I added) to only undermost row of 32 rows of DIN41612.

Btw, the connection port on the right is DIN41612 with 32rows and a+c columns are loaded. I still didnt get the idea why they did it as one thick line looks like connects to 5*2=10 pins but it actually connects to 2 (32-a and 32-c). Should I do the same in my design ?

Thanks in advance.
