My T2-301 came with no cables.  Its DB9 provides rs232 (2 ports) and
power connectivity, but you'll have to make or buy a breakout cable.

Another US$8 gets you a cable that breaks out power and rs232:

The db9 on this cable gets you serial port A on pins 2 and 3 (the
standard pins) and port B on pins 7 and 8.  You can use this to get a
single serial port connected (a computer or GPS but not both).

Add a second cable for another US$7.50

and it splits out both serial ports from the first cable, so that you
can connect a computer and a GPS simultaneously.

While you're at it, you can order a USB to RS232 adapter for a very
reasonable US$15:

This will get you maximum connectivity to your T2-301 (everything
except a GPS cable) with zero soldering.
