you may make this cable yourself according to the cable drawing in Table 5-1. This cable should not

5.1.2. Sage Decoder Configuration
The Sage provides six serial ports that can be used for a variety of purposes. Each serial port is wired
like a standard PC 9-pin connector. Refer to the Sage manual for specific port pin outs. (They are
contained in section 12 of their manual at the time of this writing.) Plug the female end of the straight-
through RS232 cable into the COM 2 port of the Sage decoder. If this port is already in use, you may
use the COM 6 port.
