I also plan to use RJ45 to DB9/DB25 connectors.  I don't want to use cat3/5 cable because of the twisted pairs. I am looking for some "flat" usually silver in color cable for this purpose (color unimportant). This ebay item is probably what I want, but I only need about 200 feet max. They won't split up their role and I don't want to waste all of it.  So I thought this might be a good place to ask if anyone has some.  Thanks very much

I've had good luck just using pre-made cables.  Seems standard lengths
are 7' and 25'.

Here's a 7-footer for $.95,

Monoprice also carry a straight 25-footer but currently out of stock :-(

or a 25' for "voice" (which has the connectors reversed one end to the other),
