need AIX console cable

Hello ... I am newbie and will be very grateful for any help. I need a serial console cable for my AIX boxes (seems we have lost the one we had!). However I am confused about the one one to order - UK based if possible. I wonder if anyone can point me at a specific one or the exact spec i need to get?

many thanks!

edit by bakunin: Please post original questions in your own thread instead of hijacking someone elses who has a different question answered. Secondly, if you whould have read the thread you have posted to before i moved your post here you would already know which cable to use. You can buy a crossed-out serial cable (aka "Null-Modem-cable") in every electronics shop.
