  2. Dectalk cable, what is the phone jack end called

I found the dec talk express cable, it's a new cable with the 9 pin  adapter. I bought it new but never got to use it. Oh yeah, and it's a longer cable. It wasn't long after I purchased this cable that my dec talk express  needed major repairs, so I purchased a double talk. If you need it I think I still have the  electrical adapter. As for the dec talk express when Dan Werich told me that a new dec talk battery would cost me $115 for just the battery, and the ac jack was shorting out. His best guess was that the repairs were going to run about $200 or more. I believe I through it out, I'm not sure. If I do come across it you're welcome to it. I'm ready to ship you the cable. I'm not going to charge you anything, I'm just glad I could help. Just let me know where to ship too, and if you want to send your address off list my email address is

Good morning Kay and Wayne.  Kay, if you figure out what that jack was called I would be grateful because there is a company here in the Inland Northwest that I think can manufacture a cable for me that would do the trick.  Wayne, if you find that old cable, I have 10 bucks that is burning a hole in my pocket.

Years ago when I use to have the tech talk external  I purchased a cable for it that's much longer than the one that comes with it. I have to go through my mass of cables, since I think I have it. If I find it I'll let you know, and sell it to you for $10. This cable is new. if you have any questions just ask.

Thanks Monte.  That’s a shame.  I should probably check with my old friends who I know to have drawers full of old cables and electronic relics from the 1980s

As I recall, it was a proprietary cable; the rj45 type end was not standard, it has a sort of offset to it.

Good luck.

One of my buddies is sending me a Dectalk external to have some fun with, but it has no cables.  I seem to remember that the cable that connects it to the serial port on the PC has a 9 pin female on one end, and a phone jack kind of RJ45 looking plug for the Dectalk.  I know that the Dectalk end was smaller than the RJ45, but bigger than a phone jack.  I’m trying to find a cable to hook up the Dectalk.  What is the name of the end that fits the Dectalk?  RJ11 or RJ12 maybe?  Thanks.
