Which port are you connecting to? RS-232? RS-485? The RS-485 connection at the MultiRanger is screw terminals. There is no need for a 'cable' because the cable is shielded twisted pair connected to screw terminals. The RS-232 connection is an old style RJ-11 or RJ-12 telephone connection. There are inexpensive 4 conductor or 6 conductor (RJ-11 or RJ-12) cables with connectors on each end. https://s2.postimg.org/y7vuimfx5/rj12_6_P6_C_color_order_reversed1.jpg There are adapters that convert from RJ-11/12 to DB-9. The adapters have pins that are inserted in the appropriate DB9 shell to get the correct RJ cable conductor to the correct DB9 pin. One style has male pins, the other style has female sockets on the DB9 side. https://s13.postimg.org/u43llke4n/RJ12_DB9_F_adapter_crop_2.jpg In the US, the cables are about 3-4USD each, the adapters are about 3-4USD ea. I found this wiring diagram that I think if for the MultiRangers, but I have done this without 7 jumpered to 8 on the DB9 side: https://s1.postimg.org/s0emn4bhb/DB9_to_RJ_11_12.jpg |
