Null Modem Cable (Quanta LB4M Switch)

[NickParra]

I recently purchased a Quanta LB4M switch from eBay. The switch works, but I need to configure it via serial console. It requires a null modem cable to do this. I have a PCIe serial card with two DB9 serial ports, but I need a DB9 to RJ45 null modem cable to get from it to the switch. It's seemingly difficult to find this as it's apparently not used much anymore. Anybody have any experience with this switch and the cable they used?

Is this what you want?

buy one of these, i'd be surprised if they're difficult to find in this form.

 

then you just look up the pinout you need, plug things where they need to go, and BOOM.
