I think "undecal" means "11".  "decal" signifies ten and "un" signifies
"one".  10+1=11.  If you do a search for "undecal" you will get plenty
of
sites with octal and undecal connectors.  Keyed circular connectors,
that
is.

Octal and undecal are both from the Latin.  Very fancy nomenclature was
used in the "good old days".
