Yes, you are over-complicating things.

The light-blue CISCO cable is exactly the same pin-out as the genuine Sun cable which you haven't got.

This cable is RJ45 to DB9 female.
You put the RJ45 into the SER-MGT port on the Sun.
(If you had an old PC or notebook) you put the DB9 female into the serial port DB9 male and run a terminal emulator.

If the PC is new and only has USB, you get a USB to DB9 male adapter and simply put the male and female DB9's together. Job done.
