What kind of RJ45 to DB9 adapter for an EQDirect cable?

Hi all,

I used to control an HEQ5 with an EQDirect cable - RJ45 version. Now I swapped mount, and I have a NEQ6, which I can still control via EQDirect but the input is DB9, and no longer RJ45.

I've looked online for some RJ45 to DB9 adapters and got a bit confused. They do exist, but they may be different one from another. For example, I find this kind, that needs to be wired. So I assume different adapters should be wired differently? So how can I find out which RJ45 to DB9 adapter will work in my use case? Or, where can I find instructions on how to wire the adapter if I end up buying a non-wired one?

Thanks for you help

Wiring is decribed here: eq-mod.sourceforge.net/eqdirect2.htm
You can ignore the 12V pins since those are coming from the mount.
