Hi Alexandre,

Yes, a switchbox cable is wired straight through as is most "Parallel
Transfer Cables".  I have bought cables with this label (here in Toronto
Canada) and used them without any problems.

I don't think Steve quoted what was on the package of the cable he was
trying to use.

Steve, if you're out there, do you still have the packaging?
