I need to put a DB9 on the other end to plug into the monitor. The
cable connected to the D23 is too fat though. Like me, too fat.
Therefore I need to obtain another piece of cable that will fit in
the hole of a db9 hood. The problem w/that is the d23 hood has a
larger bore, so I need to take up that space.
What I've found that works when faced with a similar situation (e.g. 4
wire cable going into a DB25 hood), I taken either about an inch of
rubber or vinyl hose, slipped it over the cable (nice if you can do it
before you solder things up), and secure it with a small cable tie that
fits inside the hood body. It works extremely well.
(I find that keeping lengths of various size vinyl hose around useful).
Sometimes it can be had in short lengths for the asking if it's the
end of a spool.
