No, it's a standard 6-pin mini-DIN, so there probably several other sources besides Kenwood for such a cable, especially considering you need the appropriate other end for connecting to your sound card and PTT control.

Kenwood is the only source I know of for the serial port cable for programming the radio and communicating with the built-in hardware TNC.

Andrew do I absolutely have to buy the connecting cable if I simply want to use the radio to do aprs?? It is quite an expensive option!!
