looking for one for the cisco router's console port so i need a console port cable :D

cost less to make my own but i've lost my cabling kit. so is less to replace the cable than the kit. i might eventually need it again.
 
Make your own cable... For a roll over, the colors for both ends are:
WO O WG B WB G WBr Br

HOWEVER, you flip the connector over on one of the ends before crimping. You'll end up with
Br WBr G WB B WG O WO

A crossover uses one end with the above cable layout, but the other side has a different set. I forget right off the top of my head, but basically you switch the in/out cables.
