I'm looking at a cable in my lab, CAB-HD60MMX-5, which is a nice short cable
(5ft) and is DTE 60 pin on one side and DCE 60 pin on the other. It's got
the Cisco blue and the housing looks just like my other Cisco back-to-back
cable which is actually a DCE-to-v.35 & v.35-to-DTE cable (the only thing
it's missing is a Cisco logo, but not all Cisco gear has the logo). That's
a Cisco part number and I'm finding it all over the place when I do a Google
search, so I'm sure you can find it direct from Cisco with their markup.
I'd rather just pay $45 for a "Cisco Equivalent Cable" from Pacific Cable
and the like:

Looks like it's available in 3ft, 5ft & 10ft variations
CAB-HD60MMX-3 LFH 60M TO LFH60M CISCO ROUTER DCE TO CISCO ROUTER DTE LFH60
M/M CROSSOVER 3 FT. $45.00 Quantity:
