connector at both ends. If you have this type of cord and the EIA-232-D port on
your terminal device is a male connector, you can use an adapter commonly
referred to as a “gender changer.” Otherwise, obtain an EIA Connector cord that
has the appropriate gender connector at each end to fit your application needs.

Use the supplied cord, or obtain the appropriate length D8W telephone cord. If
