I need a longish serial cable to get from the workshop computer to the

RS232 serial is +/- 12v. USB is 5v... But you refer to D type
connectors so I assume you mean RS232. B-)

It's for the serial port on a PC. According to the blurb with the device
I'm connecting to it pins 1&9 have 5 volts DC on them to power things like
Bluetooth.
