I've used the Dectalk serial cable as a regular serial cable once in a situation where I didn't have one handy. In fact, it is described as a "straight-through" cable, meaning that it is a standard cable as far as I can tell. A cable for a UPS (uninterruptible power supply,) is another story. Those are customized for sure.
