Easiest way would be to buy 2 Profi connectors and some purple Profi cable and make it yourself.
Watch for the "in" arrows on the connector body.
Connect the 2 leads to the connector (color coded by the way, Green to Green and Red to Red).
Repeat for the other side.
When done, plug in the cable,turn the terminating resistors on and you're in business.

A photo wouldn't show you anything significant as it appears to be just another random 9-pin serial cable.

I'd look into the cable bkottaras mentions. We use that and no problems so far.
