Are you using it for JP1.x remote? It should be 3.3V. 5V could fry the remote.

The cable you linked is very likely to be using fake chip. Why don't you give the cable I linked a try? https://hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopi ... 20#p151620

Does anyone know what the cable's end pins are called and where I can get a crimper that is made for them?

I put the new pins on the old cable* and was able to bring up the upload box. The bricked 3680 will not allow me to write.

The Spectrum C4000 is still not found, but it feels like a loose connection.

*I mated them through RJ-11 connectors. (If you use an RJ-12 on the USB side, you can tie down the red & blue wires without connecting them to anything. The two outer pins are not supported on RJ-11 accessories.)
