Building Custom Cables
Use this subsection if you want to build customized cables for the
Comtrol RocketPort controllers.
Usually you can buy the correct cables from distributors and electronics
stores for your controller. In some cases, your peripheral equipment
may need custom cables.
Check your equipment to understand what kind of cable to use, Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communications Equipment
(DCE). All Comtrol serial connectors are configured as DTE.
