SELECT  us.udevice, ts.descr, ud.udevice, td.descr
  FROM  assoc AS a
        LEFT JOIN units AS us
           ON a.src_id = us.uid
        LEFT JOIN types AS ts
           ON us.utype = ts.id
        LEFT JOIN units AS ud
           ON a.dest_id = ud.uid
        LEFT JOIN types AS td
           ON ud.utype = td.id;
