Slamtec RPLIDAR A1 - 360 Laser Range Scanner - missing cable

[Marzan]

We have bought Slamtec RPLIDAR A1 - 360 Laser Range Scanner (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4010) for our project. But the package is missing the cable attached to it. So, we are having issue to connect with TTL serial. We are now considering to use custom cable to connect the Lidar and TTL serial. But there is no circuit diagram available for the reference. We need the circuit diagram to connect the point lidar sensor and TTL connector. It will not be feasible for us to place a replacement order as we are from Bangladesh. I am attaching a picture below

The SlamTec Datasheet for the A1M8 does have the pinouts.

Thank you so much for your first response. It would be really helpful for us if you provide the pin diagram of this connector also. We are confused about how we connect the Lidar end cables to connector end cables. I am attaching the connector picture better understanding.

The accessory board is the USB Adapter for the RPILIDAR A1. The pin definitions are on page 13 of this PDF.

these are probably Molex Picoblade 1.25mm connectors
