USB printer cable has type A connector on one side meant for the computer and type B connector on the other side meant for the printer. The same cable can be used to connect computer to FT-710 radio for CAT control or Computer Assisted Transceiver Control. No other specialized cable is needed. Some cables have ferrite beads to reduce radio frequency interference while others do not.
