Cable Drawings for ADS Development Systems

The following is a list of cables ADS has designed for use with its products. Many of these cables are included with development systems. Cables are listed by product.

ADS produces these cables for its development systems, and can provide them in limited quantities for pre-production systems. For cost-effective production, consult your local electronics contract manufacturer or some of the manufacturers we use.

#null_modem_ActiveSync

Null Modem Cables: Not all are created equally

We've identified an issue with the null modem cables we ship with development systems that may cause problems with Windows CE ActiveSync. Existing cables will work fine for basic communications and for use with ADS debug output.

One Vendor's Confusion
At the time of writing, our experience is that Jameco is shipping DB9 null modem cables (#181403) that do not cross over the RTS and CTS lines between the connectors. Instead, the cables cross over the DTR and DSR lines, while simply looping RTS/CTS back within each connector. Jameco has an inconsistency between their website and catalog about the actual pinout(*).

Testing the Cables
You can quickly test what kind of cable you've got by checking the continuity between pins. You should see that pin 2 of one DB9 is connected to pin 3 of the other, and vice versa. For a cable to perform hardware flow control, pins 7 and 8 should be similarly crossed.

Our Recommendations
If you have a need for hardware handshaking with the null modem cable, use a cable that crosses over wire pairs 2-3 (TX/RX) and 7-8 (CTS/RTS). ActiveSync works best with 4-6 (DTR/DSR) crossed as well. The following are some recommendations:
  • PI Manufacturing 833-0706-551 (6 ft) or 833-0710-551 (10 ft) (1&6-4, 2-3, 3-2, 4-6&1, 5-5, 7-8, 8-7)
  • CableWholesale 10D1-20406 (2-3, 3-2, 5-5, 7-8, 8-7; 1&4&6 connected on each side)
  • CablesToGo 03044 (2-3, 3-2, 4-6, 5-5, 6-4, 7-8, 8-7)
  • Belkin F3B207 [pinout not yet verified but recommended by CE eMVPs]

    Contact us if you'd like us to get you a replacement cable.


    (*) The 7-8, 8-7 crossover is the pinout required by hardware handshaking and Windows CE ActiveSync
    Jameco website: "Pin outs: 1-7 and 8; 2-3; 3-2; 4-6; 5-5; 6-4; 7 & 8-1"
    Jameco Catalog CH: "Pin outs: 1 & 6-4, 2-3, 3-2, 4-6 &1, 5-5, 7-8, 8-7"


    Edited by akidder 25-Apr-2005: Update notes about recommendations. Add PI Mfg.
    Edited by akidder 25-Jan-2006: Add PI Mfg 10-ft cable, which we currently ship with development systems.
    Edited by akidder 2-Feb-2006: Add pinout of Cables-to-Go #03044
    Edited by akidder 6-Apr-2006: Add Belkin F3B207; remove now-dead link to Jameco product
