Interface Cable
NOTE: When connecting via USB use the shielded connector cable (e.g., p/n CBA-U21-S07ZBR). Refer to
Solution Builder for guidance about cables.
If you already have existing non shielded cables from legacy products (such as the DS9808) they can
be reused. However, be aware that the shielded cables provide improved ESD performance. For
