Let's see. It's been a while since I bought my connector cable.

I think I bought just the Serial-USB cable from MobileWorld (I think 
that's the name). They are located on Hunter St, Wynyard, opposite 
OptusWorld.

And yes, it's a huge saving without the softwares.

Otherwise check out some of the US web sites. These short connector 
cables are definitely available singly. Even then, they are expensive.
