Anagraph excel V cable

Greetings-- Does anyone have a spare cable for and old excel V plotter, or know how to make one? thanks--Jack

what you more than likely need is a null modem serial cable. 90% of the plotters out there over four or five years old have serial ports and use rs-232 compliant serial cables so the computer can hand shake with the plotter.You can do a search on google and find a schematic on how to wire one yourself but it is much cheaper just to buy a standard plotter cable from one of the sign suppliers that sell plotters

The Anagraph plotter has an RJ11 female connector on it, and this is the only interface I can find. I assume there is an OEM cable, or would any DB9 to RJ11 converter work?

null modem cable.. its all it takes

It sounds like yours has a Ethernet port on it. But if I remember right it needs ANA Excel 5 serial cable which is a null modem cable..

Techman is right but the specification for an ethernet connector is rj-45 not 11

rj-11 is a phone line connector
