Anyone happen to have a male to male DB9 Rs232 straight through cable that is junking up their closet and want to give the heave ho?

Just to be certain:

What length of cable do you need?
Is it just for RS-232 or do you need all 9 pins connected, straight through?
Would flat ribbon cable work for you?
Are you in a rush for it?
If I do not have that cable there is a chance I can make one for you, either flat ribbon IDC or old fashioned solder.
I don't have paypal and I don't exchange for money.
It will take me a couple of days to check my stock.

You could also use a male-to-female cable plus a male-to-male adapter.
Or you could get two male connectors and solder the wires.
If it is for serial RS-232, you can get away with just three wires.

Maybe 10 feet. I would think any db9 straight through would do. No rush

If this is going to be a hassle for you, no worries. I could just buy one from ebay. I think they are only around $6. I just thought if someone wanted to empty their junk drawer..........
