Cat5 cable would work electrically. It's not the greatest stuff for soldering since the conductors usually aren't tinned (I think). But if it's what you have, then go for it! Even individual lengths of insulated hookup wire will work. It just wouldn't be as pretty as a jacketed cable.

The link didn't come through. They list a Drivewire cable for $20 that goes from 4 pin DIN to a DB9, which is what you would need to connect the CoCo's serial port to a regular PC serial port.
