No handshaking
The most simplistic type of serial cable. This cable has only the data and signal ground wires connected. All of the other pins have no connection. With this type of cable flow control has to be implemented in the software. The use of this cable is restricted to data-traffic only on its cross connected Rx and Tx lines. This cable can also be used in devices that do not need or make use of modem control signals.

Loop back handshaking
Because of the compatibility issues and potential problems with a simple null modem cable, a solution was developed to trick the software into thinking there was handshaking available. However, the cable pin out merely loops back and does not physically support the hardware flow control.
This cable could be used with more software but it had no actual enhancements over its predecessor. The software would work thinking it had hardware flow control but could suddenly stop when higher speeds were reached and with no identifiable reason.
Partial handshaking
In this cable the flow control lines are still looped back to the device. However, they are done so in a way that still permits Request To Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) flow control but has no actual functionality. The only way the flow control signal would reach the other device is if the opposite device checked for a Carrier Detect (CD) signal at pin 1. As a result only specially designed software could make use of this partial handshaking. Software flow control still worked with this cable.
Full handshaking
This cable is the most expensive of the serial cables because it has full wiring and pin-outs. This cable is incompatible with the previous types of cables hardware flow control, due to a crossing of its RTS/CTS pins. With this cable and the suitable software to take advantage of it, the cable is capable of much higher speeds than its predecessors. It also supports software flow control.

. Tak pobieżnie przejrzalem schematy kilku kabli do Sinumerika i nie zauważyłem między nimi różnic . Może dokładne sprawdzenie wykaże jakieś różnice w połączeniach . Jak bym był na twoim miejscu to sprawdziłbym dokładnie i jeśli nie ma różnic to bym zaryzykował 
a tym bardziej techniczny . Ale myślę ze wszystkowiedząca wiedźma Ple-Ple zna odpowiedz . 
Dla nie wtajemniczonych wiedźma Ple-Ple ma tez inne imie czyli "Google" .
