RS232 DIAGNOSTIC CABLES

Post by exxos »

Annoyingly these cables With a female on each end are not freely available but just about every other type of cable is!

I do plan to stock these in the very near future if there is interest, this is the sample table I received today.

Took me several hours (across nearly a week of elapsed time) to find a 9 way null modem cable & the correct 9 way to 25 way adaptor...and I know I have a full LapLink cable set "somewhere".... :shrug:

Ah yes, OCD overdrive...though I've got to admit that the length of the protrusion out of the back of the Mega ST4 with the adaptor & serial cable is worrying me in case it gets caught/knocked by someone 'visiting' my study... :shock:

It must be sticking out at least 2 inches further than the ACSI lead into the Megafile 60... :roll:

I would take one of those cables it's much nicer that the 2 cut cables I put together.

I have ordered 100 of these cables. It is the MOQ I could get for a custom run. I hope these will start to appear in stock in a couple of weeks time.
