Hello Fobara, stupid answer, but... you can find those connectors at your local caterpillar dealer if you want to save yourself some headaches, they are expensive, the comm III witch it's a USB connector was around $1300.00 US dollars 2 years ago, the wireless connector it's around twice that much, but I heard there were too many problems connecting with the wireless.
You can also try EBAY, but with an item like that, I"ll be cautious who do you buy from, do some research before you buy... I heard some sad stories about people selling cat software and tools.
You can try local truck/ heavy equipment shops, sometimes they have to buy new tools and they sell their old ones, were you can try before you buy..
Good luck on your search.

Hey again Fobara, it's been raining all day, so work it's slow, gave me a chance to goof off a bit, I have been doing some research and found this site:
Shenzhen Master Automobile Technology Co.,Ltd (http://autodiagnosis4.diytrade.com/)
Prices are cheap and the item they sell are very interesting, the main thing that caught my attention was that one can buy only one item or buy wholesale.
Yeah, I know, it's in Asia, but this way we can get rid of the middle man.
I am going to try them, will post results as soon as I get the deal done.
Thanks.

Open page, go to your left menu to Product Catalog, click on that, look for the Excavator Tester on that menu, You will find Cat ET Connector there.
It doesn't mention it, but it is a Cat Comm III. ( USB conn)
