Where can I get a cable test unit like the one in the video?

Do you have any experience with Meldas 60 based CNC machines? The machine looks okay it doesn't boot yet (says it has some io issues, so I'm checking it). I'm working on getting it back alive again and consider converting it to linuxcnc.

I saw in a forum that are more cables to jump on DB9. I’m not sure it’s is correct

I don't think this cable would work. I tried exact same way and i tried couple cnc machines and it showed 085 communication error.
