Connecting Dongle to PC
« 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.

any store that supplies computers will usually have the USB cable you need.

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:

You can get them at Walmart, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, Best Buy or any computer store.
