Gonna try coding...which cable?

So I resolve to try coding this year, and there are quite a few cables being sold on-line.

I tried some of the links to recommended sellers in some of the coding threads here and they are currently unavailable.

Any recomendations on where to get a good working and reliable cable?

Just for your information, INPA is not for coding.

NCS is however, and that is included in the pac related to the link.

Since I have INPA and other specific program running on a Window XP laptop with serial connection, I have used a cable similar to this without issue.

See, I told you I was new lol!

So they are pretty much all the same? I am searching other boards too and some mention that there are preferred cables?
