Pact Serial cable help.

[Andy!]

Hello Gentlemen.

I've recently become the owner of a PACT professional chronograph, but the serial cable wasn't included. Due to it being part of a deceased estate, it is unlikely now that the cable will ever be located.

If anyone happens to know what standard the cable complies with, or could be bothered doing a pin out for me, that would be very appreciated.

I'll make one.

There appear to be several possibilities as to which standard it is going to be...

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Have you contacted PACT?

I have a MKIV XP chronograph and it takes a standard a-b usb cable. I used the cable from my hp printer.

Being in Australia, Pact tend to be rather asleep unfortunately when I can ring them. Now I'm home early, I'll give them a ring.

It seems nobody wants to pick up the phone...

For simplicity, I have quoted the PACT XP as the Easton Professional Chronograph IS pretty much the XP Professional PACT, just with different software and marketed for Archers.

The MK IV XP is a USB connection.

However, this chrono uses a serial connection, like your original dial up modem used to.

The plug is a D-9 to an RJ-45 like a network cable.

Thanks guys. Your help is appreciated.
