Yes, you are right. You can buy ready cable

Stock no. Name 1— 10— 50—
25-532-20 Nullmod.cable DB9 1,8 m 4,14 2,75 2,07
or made from old mouse connector. All connectors have pin-out numbering.Connect according this pin-out diagram and cable is ready. Basically you can use only RX, TX and GND signals.

Hint: Cisco rollover cable with DB9 adapters on both ends.

For the RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN, the serial console connector is RJ45, so a RJ45 ↔ DB9 cable is required, with Cisco serial cable pinout as decribed here:
