Hardware, Cabling, Installations / ft857 CAT control com2 ct62 cable

I am thinking of replacing my alinco with my ft857 for remote control because I cannot cat the alinco.
my question is after reading the posts in the forum I see to use comm 2 on the radio end and plug the 8 pin mini din cable from the radio into comm 2, however should it be a ttl level convertor like a CT62 cable? The ones with a db9 on one end are female so I would have to use a MM coupler to plug it into the radio end comm 2 port on the remote. OR I see a cable Y7 diagram(page 147 manual) using the remotes TTL jack to the mini din, but with only tx, rx, and gnd you lose speakers and power switch
then on the control end I set comm 2 to use usb and just plug a ubb cable from it to my pc running the software?
