RS232 cable is what you need and a serial port on the PC or a USB to serial port adapter on the PC

You could also get a RJ45 to Serial port adapter plug that you wire specifically for the Xantrex Inverter and a PC. You have to set the pins in a specific configuration. A little tricky but do-able. I have two Gt 4.0 Inverters wired to a dedicated Windows PC with about 50 ft of RJ45 cable with adapters at each end, running two SGT View programs for monitoring.
