I just bought one of these remotes off eBay, it included the original packaging, cd, manual, etc.

The cable that was included has male pins on the PC end. I am not at all familiar with serial cables/ports, but all my PC's also have male pins on their serial ports.

Have I been sent the wrong cable?? Do I need a gender adapter?? Will this cable even work with the TakeControl if I get a gender adapter??

Thanks!!
