It's a "Null Modem Cable". That's as clear as I can make it. Go to your friendly computer store and ask if they have any Null modem cables. Do NOT buy a "Serial Modem Cable". Many computer stores have the serial modem cables but not the null modem cables. You may have to shop around or even find one on the internet. This depends if you live in the sticks or near a large city. Jim
