Get a roll-your-own. There are several pinouts for RJ45-DE9, so if you buy
one ready-made, you're going to end up muttering to Murphy. They're
usually in the form of a shell made to hold an RJ45 socket, which comes
with 8 wires connected, each with a pin (or socket pin) crimped on the end,
ready to insert into the DE9 body that comes with it. They're also cheap,
less than 1 UKP here (about $1.00) from CPC.
