Cradlepoint TAA-170585-001 GPIO Cable, 2x2 Black 3 m, 22 AWG

The Cradlepoint TAA-170585-001 GPIO cable connects the small 2x2 GPIO interface on supported Cradlepoint routers to real-world wiring. Three meters of black 22 AWG cable give installers enough reach to route from a router mounted in a trunk, cabinet, or console to the vehicle harness or terminal block where I/O signals actually live, and the TAA designation satisfies U.S. government procurement requirements under the Trade Agreements Act. GPIO is how a router senses and acts on its environment. In vehicles, the most common wiring is ignition sensing—letting an IBR1700 or IBR900 power up and shut down gracefully with the vehicle rather than draining the battery. Beyond ignition, inputs monitor door contacts, light-bar activation, and auxiliary equipment status, while outputs can trigger relays or indicators. In fixed industrial settings, the same 2x2 interface on IBR600C/IBR650C routers monitors cabinet doors and equipment alarms at unmanned sites. The 22 AWG conductor gauge is appropriate for these low-current signal applications while remaining flexible enough to route cleanly through grommets and looms. Compatibility spans the IBR1700, IBR900 series, and IBR600C/IBR650C routers—consult your router's GPIO documentation for pin assignments and electrical limits before wiring. For agencies and contractors, the TAA part number lets the same physical cable flow through federal purchase orders without compliance exceptions; the non-TAA equivalent wiring is otherwise identical in function.
