Yup.
You are looking for wires connected to
pin 5 = common
pic 2 = data to PC
pin 3 = data from PC
The others you will not need for awhile, flow control type stuff.

The female connector starts with 1 on the right.

I had that one explained to me many years ago when I was a young apprentice, funny that was one lesson I never forgotAt least you did not ask how to tell which one is female or male
Right then I've got:
5 - Yellow
3 - Red
2 - Brown
How does that sound / look?
Very fine wires, I was quite surprised by that.
