Note that multiple color sets are shown in the table above because multiple cable suppliers have been used over the years, each implementing different color codes. As of January 2008 most cables use color set 2. Rather than relying on this table, it is recommended that users perform a continuity test to determine which wires are connected to which pins on their own device.
To connect a Zaber device to a computer serial port requires a T-DSUB9 adaptor. It looks similar to an old PS/2 serial mouse adaptor, but it has different wiring.
