Any Computer store or electronic store that sells computers should have them. Often called serial cable as well. Just watch for male/female connection ends on the cables as they can vary.

You can also get an rs232 to USB adaptor from most computer stores or the web and use a USB cable as most pcs these days especially laptops don't have serial ports.

You can also use a serial RS232 to USB converter cable. The RS232 port plugs into your Profilux while the USB end plugs into your PC. That's what I do :-) Actual RS232 serial ports are becoming very uncommon on PCs these days.

I use something like this: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...6963&CatId=447

Pretty much any computer store will have one similar.
