Title: cm11a serial cable anyone?
Post by: aweber1nj on December 01, 2009, 04:05:49 PM: I lost my DB9 to rj11 serial cable for my cm11a during my move (houses). I was happily using heyu for years at my old house, but now am pulling my hair out.

Does anyone know where I can find one cheap?

Thanks,
AJ

Unless you want to wire up your own, (and maybe even then), the cheapest solution would probably be to buy a new CM11A with cable from X10 or one of the many ebay resellers.

The last CM11A I bought from X10 during one of their "deals" cost me about $10, and came with a TM751 and a universal remote.

If anyone has the pin-outs for the DB9 side, I may just buy an adapter. I saw those for like $3 (plus shipping).

Thanks again,
AJ
