USB 2.0 Connector
This connector uses a USB A-B cable to establish communication between the PC and the Turbo
Clipper Drive Drive. This type of USB cable could be purchased at any local electronics or
computer store. It may be ordered from Delta Tau as well.

RJ45, Ethernet Connector
This connector is used to establish communication over Ethernet between the PC and the Turbo
Clipper Drive Drive. A crossover cable is required if you are going directly to the Clipper board
from the PC Ethernet card, and not through a hub.
Delta Tau strongly recommends the use of RJ45 CAT5e or better shielded cable. Newer network
cards have the Auto-MDIX feature that eliminates the need for crossover cabling by performing
an internal crossover when a straight cable is detected during the auto-negotiation process. For
older network cards, one end of the link must perform media dependent interface (MDI)
crossover (MDIX), so that the transmitter on one end of the data link is connected to the receiver
on the other end of the data link (a crossover/patch cable is typically used). If an RJ45 hub is
used, then a regular straight cable must be implemented. Maximum length for Ethernet cable
should not exceed 100m (330ft).
