You need a "rolled" cable.. it would be 8 conductor with pin 1 going to pin 8 and so on.. the adapters from Cisco are label TERM and MODEM. You need the TERM adapters. If you need a pinout, ask and we can post it. Or you can get it off the Cisco web site.

This link has good details about the cable and connectors.
