I don't remember the part number but I think it was about $14.95. It's a pretty standard IBM style keyboard connector. David Albrecht after seeing the Radio Shack version (a fairly short cable at a very high price), I happened to be in a big electronics shop in Burbank and saw a similar cable, but for about $6. I wouldn't buy from Radio Shmuck if it can be helped.

I'm well-acquainted with making serial/parallel cables, but I am trying
now to network some computers/printers together with modular phone cables.
I have it pretty much figured out, but could someone elighten me as to the
difference between RJ-11 and RJ-45 cable before I actually purchase anything.
Is this a difference in pin-outs or type of wire?? My plan is to put
together a 'patch bay' which could be manually switched as needed.

Well, since my previous post, I figured out (I think) that RJ-45 is 8 conductors and RJ-11 is 4 or 6 conductors. In the process I also found out about low capacitance cables, plenum, pvc, etc. So thanks, if anyone had thought about replying. :) Julie (LadyHakwe)
