USB “A/B” Cable
This is a standard cable is used to connect PCs or other hosts to USB devices that do not
have integrated cables (Figure 9). The detachable cable makes the FIRE 2 easier to transport
than would be the case if it were built in, and also allows the cable to be easily replaced if it is
ever damaged.

µDB-9 (Micro DB-9) to DB-9 Cable
As mentioned in Section 2.3, a µDB-9 connector was used on the FIRE 2 to allow it to be made
smaller. This is a “straight-through” cable that adapts the smaller connector to the regular DB-9
used in automotive applications. The cable can be seen in Figure 10, while a close-up of the
special µDB-9 connector is in Figure 11.
