Les:
I think this part does what you need: http://vibroplex.com/contents/en-us/p243.html It's an 8 pin DIN cable with bare ends for the G-5500/5400 rotator control box. If I recall correctly, the ST-2 uses a 8-pin screw terminal block (yes: https://www.foxdelta.com/products/st2-0417.htm). So the tricky part (wiring up the DIN connector) is done for you. A volt-ohm meter will answer which wire is which pin. On the ERC interface, the end user wires up a DB9 connector. (Who can still manage to get the pin numbering backwards. Learned the hard way! With the ST-2, a screwdriver is easier to fix such boo-boos vs desoldering a DB9.)
Hope this helps.

Les,
Looks like this guy is what you are looking for. It is a bit costly.

Else if you wanted to mail me the DIN-8 socket connector that came with the rotator or the Fox Delta, I can solder it to a spare Cat5e cable I have lying around the house and mail it back. If time is of the essence, you'll want to go with DXengineering. ;) Just call them to make sure that is indeed the cable.

Does anyone make a pre-made interface cable to go between the Yaesu G-5400B and the Fox Delta ST2 Satellite Tracking Interface?
My failing eyesight have turned the joy of soldering and kit-making into a major league pain. :-(
I’d also be happy to pay someone that might be willing to make up the cable. Thanks in advance.
