What sort of cable do I use with the PCI-RS-485/2 card

I understand that the connectors are DB-9, however, I can only find RS-232 terminated cable from suppliers. Can I use that? Or does somebody make DB-9 to DB-9 RS-485 cable. It also appears that NI no longer carries an RS-485 cable, does anyone know a replacement?

NI does carry the DB-9 to DB-9 RS-485 cables; there seems to be some web error.
The part numbers (9-pin female D-Sub to 9-pin female D-Sub) are:
(m = meter)
1m - 183283-01
2m - 183283-02
4m - 183283-04

What is the pin out for the 183283-01 cable? Is this one to one, or is TX connected RX and CTS to RTS? I can find not cable drawing on the website.
