You are correct, I made some corrections. Here is the info on the Cisco console cable I use. There are a couple ways to make the connection depending on what you have available. I used a piece of 6 wire flat satin (like the 4 wire telephone station cord only with 6 wires) and put a 6 pin modular connector on one end then put a 8 pin modular connector on the other with the cable aligned to fill the 6 middle connections. Make sure to put the same side up on both ends (like a telephone wire) so that it is a straight through cable. Then I used a Cisco RJ-45 to DB9 terminal adapter that comes with a router or switch to connect to the PC. If you don't have that adapter and need to crimp or solder your DB9 connector (blech...) the pinout is below.
I don't remember the correct way the pins are labeled on the 6 pin modular connector so you need to be looking at it with the clip away from you and the cable opening on the left then start with the top pin as pin 1. DB9 6 pin Modular connector. 1 NC 2 2 3 5 4 6 5 3&4 6 1 7 NC 8 NC 9 NC Hope I was detailed enough....
