No need to open the box. It has a four pin on the back and some of the USB to ttl have four females. I'm not sure of which wire goes to which pin but a google will find it.

no need for the converter,the 4 pins are rs232 and not ttl.
you need a 4pin converter to 9pin.
use an old pc cdrom 4pin audio cable

I would give up looking at ttl converters, as you won't find what you need.

You will need to make your own. If you haven't got an old connector from a pc you can use, then the connectors (with wires attached) can be found on Ebay. They are JST-XH connectors and are used in RC models:-

You will also need a 9 pin (male) sub D-type connector.

slugworth has supplied the connection diagram.
