I have found out RS232 adapter and it turned out that only a sample device has the connector. The cable appears to be a Molex PicoBlade with 1.25mm pitch but I am not sure and have not found where we did get it from to verify. Usually it is possible to get such connectors with loose cable ends. So no need to crimp it yourself (doesn’t work well w/o 200 $ tool).
