Serial cable

[Pwnbroker]

I'm looking for a regular serial cable, the kind that modems used to use before usb. I've looked at several places, newegg, compusa, even walmart, but nobody carries them. Closest I could find was a cable with serial on one end and something else on the other. My UPS uses serial to connect with my computer and the cable I have now is too short, so my UPS can't shut down my pc when something happens.

Well they do have some. What you most likely need is a DB9 male to female.

6 bucks for the 10 foot Belkin, $5 shipping 3 day. 6 foot at cablestogo is 9 bucks plus 9 for shipping ground (3 to 5 day).

CompUSA has it even cheaper. 3 dollars for 6 feet. They don't carry them in stores. 5 dollars for ground shipping.

Walmart had one, but it cost me dearly. Paid over 20 bucks for it, but I needed it as my monitor came and I needed to check it for problems. Thanks guys, I'll know where to go next time around.
