Don't you mean it is a DB-9 end on the cable.. not a DB-15 which is what the joysticks use, the number is the number of pins in the cable. Also if you are buying one, DO NOT get an NULL MODEM cable, this is not what you want. You want straight through.
I would also like the schematic of the tether port because if only 1 wire isn't used then I could use some CAT-5e cable that I have to make one.
BTW someone on here had long tether cables they were selling from their signature...
