I am looking for a source for IBM-RT serial cables. Specifically, I need to locate a firm that can fabricate ASCII terminal and printer cables which have a 25-pin D connector on one end an a 10-Pin MONU connector on the other; these cables connect a terminal/printer to a 4/8-port asynchronous RS-232 Adapter; the IBM part number is 6298526, and the cables are described on page 4-28/29 of the RT Planning Guide. We have just become dealers for the RT, and virtually all of our installations will require cables made to a custom length with plenum cable. Anybody know a good cable vendor who can meet our needs?

There is only one source of these cables that I can find, that is IBM. I
have made them for our own use but they are only used on an IBM. The
"10-Pin MONU connector" seems to be something that IBM dreamed up. If you
can prove me wrong PLEASE let me know. It is almost impossible to get
these things from IBM!
