I don't have my black box catalog handy, but this is from
the omega list archives of 1996. I'm quoting Rod Grisham
(still here Rod?)
---------------
Skip Radio Shack, and order from Black Box. No I don't have
any of their stock, etc. But if you need computer/telecom
wiring, switches, interface equipment, and related "stuff,"
they have it.
In the Fall/Winter 1996 catalogue, consider first page 180.
They have both 3 way and 4 way RS-232 Y splitters with any
imaginable combination of male/female, DB9 or DB25
connectors. Prices vary from 19.95 to 29.95. The catalogue
says you can call (412)746-5500 and request document number
14467 to get a spec sheet via a faxback service.
If that won't handle your situation (based on what I
remember about this thread, it will), then turn to page 403
and consider the powered, buffered, 8-way broadcast unit.
It works with either RS-232 connectors or RJ-11 modular
adapters. Depending on the features you need, prices go up
from $275.00. For specs, call the number given above and
ask for
document 12252.
You can place orders at the (412)746-5500 number or by fax
at (800)321-0746. Or you can order your own catalogue by
calling (800)552-6816. In case you do not know, Black Box
is located in Pittsburgh, PA.
Another option, which I did not see last year, is a custom
made two-way Y-cable. For this option, you specify the type
of connectors and the length of the cables going to each of
your devices. This appears on page 123 of the catalogue.
The cost is about $27 plus a charge for the cable length
which varies from $0.31 to $0.62 per foot depending on the
type of cable you want. There is not a faxback number for
this splitter.
Hope this helps,
Rod

Did you find a supplier who had one and if so, who was it?
Many thanks,
