Mike, Now that Bill and Don have filled you in on the DB9 versus a DE9 issue, I'll try to address your question about the CBLP3Y. One of your cables alone will not do the job. The CBLP3Y has two DE9s, one female the other male, and a RJ45 connector. The male DE9 plugs into the connector on the P3 marked PC. The female connector plugs into the connector on the P3 marked XCVR. The female DE9 connector has two cables connected to it. One cable goes to the male DE9, the other cable goes to the RJ45. This means you will have to get a female DE9 and do some soldering to make a CBLP3Y cable. I'm not sure there is a wiring diagram to make your own. Support may be able to help with that. I would vote to just purchase a CBLP3Y. I think it is $39.95 plus shipping.

I located in my toy box a couple cables of same description as the CBLP3Y, that being they are terminated on one end by a RJ45 connector and a DB9 Male on the other. (I see in page 4 of the P3 owner's manual it calls this cable a Male-Female DE-9, so that is confusing to me. What is a DE-9 connector?). My question is to ask if my toy box cables will do the job, or is there something specific to the CBLP3Y that designates that as the only cable to use? Someone please help me with this question.
