Title: Connecting Dongle to PC
Post by: mmais68569 on January 14, 2011,

Where can I get the correct cable to connect the Dongle to the PC USB.

                  Mike

Is it a USB on one end & a Cat5 on the other?

Any computer supply store, Lowes and Home Depot also, someone told me Lowes and HD were the cheapest place to buy them.

It is a standard USB cable.  The cat 5 jack is the dongle output.

It is a USB A to B cable, which is an important distinction.

I'm not necessarily recommending this supplier, just want you to see the different ends on the cable:
