USB-C to USB-AAdapter Cable
Newer Apple computers have a USB-C connector that can communicate via either USB or
Thunderbolt protocols. The Apple system will detect the type of connection and automatically
adjust how it communicates with the device. A USB-C to USB-A style interface cable capable of
USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds (5 Gbps) will allow connection between the Mac computer
and the TX1 USB source port. These adapter cables are widely available from a variety of
commercial retailers, including Apple. A USB-C to USB-A adapter cable is shown below.
FireWireAdapter Cable
The TX1 has a source side FireWire 800 port, making acquisition of a Macintosh computer via
its FireWire connection as easy as plugging in an interface cable. Different Macintosh
computers have different FireWire connectors, so check the connector type before you begin.
FireWire 800 connectors are common on many legacy Mac systems. A FireWire 800 9-pin to 9-
pin cable is shown below.
