Cable is at home and I'm at work so I'll get you the pinout later. The connector was about $2 and you need a few feet of wire. Care is recommended when first applying power. With a lab supply, you can set the current limit low and slowly increase the voltage until the load draws power. This prevents smoke from leaving components if power is applied incorrectly, and everyone knows it the smoke that makes electronics work because when it leaves the electronics don't work anymore.
