I'm sure that is with any business, people call things that they are not. You yourself called a 25 pair connector an "Amphenol connector" when in fact Amphenol is a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment. 3M, Amp, TRW, and several other companies make the 25 pair connectors.
Another example would be inline skates, people often refer to them as rollerblades, rollerblades is a company that makes inline skates.
