How long a cable do you need? Predator Software sells their triple shielded Grizzly Cables (with 5-year warranty) and adapters for your machine and PC for $1.50 a foot. They can probably ship it today if you order early.

On the other hand, if you want to have one built locally, I recommend a minimum 3-conductor stranded-shielded cable, wired as follows.

CNC (DB25M)<---------------> PC (DB9F)
1 <-------------(shield) (no connection)
2 <-----------------------------> 2
3 <-----------------------------> 3
7 <-----------------------------> 5
4&5 Jumpered (CNC side only)
6,8,& 20 Jumpered (CNC side only)
