What kind of USB cable for the BrailleNote Apex
|
Steven Johnson
I have a used BrailleNote Apex coming next weekend with no cables, and I have never even touched one before, so I am pretty excited. I have a power supply and a new battery, but no USB cable to connect it to my computer. Which type of USB cable fits the Apex? Thanks in advance for telling me.

I know about Humanware, but they often charge inflated prices for standard things like SD cards, power supplies, not to mention their devices. I just wanted to know if the sync cable is a standard USB type B or C, or if it has a proprietary plug that goes into the Apex?

I did not say to buy from humanware; I said you could find out which type ov usb cable to get. Unless your apex is very new, it will not be the usb c cable as that has been around for only the last year or so. Maybe you can take the apex to a store and find the right cable that way.

Hi, it seems it is a proprietary cable. See the following page for further info: http://support.humanware.com/en-usa/support/braillenote_apex/braillenote_apex_as_a_braille_display

Thanks to Norma, Monty and John for putting me on the right track. Apologies Monty, you were not advising me to get the cable from HW, but I will plan to play it safe and get my USB Client Cable from them. I am looking forward to having a more powerful braille terminal that plays BARD books. Pretty cool!
