The RXD line from the module goes to the sleeve of the 3.5MM plug.    
The TXD  line from the module goes to the   ring   of the 2.5MM plug.     
The GND line from the module goes to the sleeve of the 2.5MM plug.
  
There are several variations of CP2102 boards available.
The pin location and labels may vary.
 
Below are two examples.
   

Builders Note: Some boards have the TXD and RXD pin labels reversed.  If your cable does not work, switch the TXD and RXD wires.

 
  
  

Below is a sample cable constructed by Jim, KC9HI An excellent project for a new ham.
