Thanks Daniel, but like Marty said, I have the cable and only need 2 plugs that are about $6 each.
Also, the EQmod website recommends using RS-232 cable over long distance:
"If you need to cover longer distances then use a USB-232 convertor at the PC but make sure it is a good one that supplies true +-9V RS232 signals - these are typically the more expensive types. Run a standard shielded RS232 cable to the mount and fit an EQDIRECT (232-TTL convertor) at the far end. As before keep the distance from the EQDirect to the mount short. RS232 should be good for up to 30 metres."
