Hi Ron,

You should be able to get this kind of cable almost anywhere fine
electronics are sold.

-give them a call.

You didn't mention the model number of your Agilent Data Logger, are you
hooking up an oscilloscope, DVM, or what?
Some of these models have USB and ENET connectivity, so you may be able to
use that path instead.

I'll scrounge around my pile of cables to see if I have one.
I do have a Belken F2N209-10 serial extender cable. DB9 Male to Female;
about 10 Ft; but that won't be a Null Modem connection. Your welcome to
borrow that to start if you get the following:

The other thing to look for is a Null Modem adapter, that will swizzle the
connections in a small adapter. Then for some reason you always come up
with the wrong sex on one end and need a M-2-M or F-2-F connector adapter.
