The normal PC to K2 to KAT100 cable *is* a "Y" cable of sorts, look in
the KAT100 manual for the details.
It is not possible to get it backwards because the PC end has female
pins while the KAT100 end has male pins.
The only "problem" that could occur with a properly made cable is that
the connectors could be swapped between the K2 and the KAT100.
The connector with 2 cables in it must connect to the K2 - if backwards,
the KAT100 will work fine, but the PC connection will not.

If you make the cable up as a "Y", better label the two ends very
clearly, or tape up the dangerous end to avoid accidentally connecting
a serial port to the wrong side.
