Cisco Console to Null Modem Serial Adapter

Currently, I am lugging around my USB to Serial cable (since my laptop does not have a serial port), a Cisco console cable, and a null modem cable (for older switches and other equipment). When I work on older equipment, I have to unplug my Cisco console cable, find my null modem cable, and then plug all of that in.
Wouldn’t it be easier if I had an adapter that I could carry around instead of switching cables? Or better yet; maybe I could make a bunch of these cables and keep them plugged into what few older switches we have left.
I know there are probably adapters out there already, but I did not want to purchase anything. I figured making one would be easy enough. Especially since I had about a billion console cables in a box from all the Cisco stuff we ordered (better to reuse than hitting the trash can). So I grabbed the parts and headed to my workbench.
