    The C bit just means the current standard quote:-
    DEFINITION
    RS-232C

    RS-232C is a long-established standard ("C" is the current version) that describes the physical interface and protocol for relatively low-speed serial data communication between computers and related devices. It was defined by an industry trade group, the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), originally for teletypewriter devices.

    It usually has a DB25 connector but it can also have a DB9 connector. How about a photo of the connectors you need a lead for?

    Hi Mark,

    I have unwanted RS232 null modem DB9 and DB25 cables if that is of use to you. I can leave it with my son at Huthwaite sometime and PM you his address if you wish.
    Null modem means that the send and receive protocol and data signals are swapped so that you don't need a modem in the middle.

    Cheers,

    Rob
