No, the CAT levels and connections are different in the TS-480 and
TS-850.

 > Or is there a cable specifically for an 850?

The DB37-TS-6 is used for all Kenwood transceivers with a TTL CAT
port (TS-x40 and TS-x50) except the TS-50.  See the microKEYER II
section at www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html.
