Cradlepoint TAA-170676-000 GPIO Cable, DB9 Black 3 m for IBR1700

The Cradlepoint TAA-170676-000 brings GPIO connectivity out of the IBR1700 router on a familiar 9-pin DB9 interface. The three-meter (9.84 ft) black cable gives installers realistic routing distance between a trunk- or console-mounted router and the harness, terminal block, or serial-interfaced equipment it needs to reach, and the DB9 termination mates with the broad ecosystem of connectors, breakouts, and panel hardware built around that standard. In vehicle deployments, GPIO wiring through this cable typically carries ignition sensing—so the router powers up and shuts down with the vehicle—along with inputs from door contacts, light bars, and auxiliary equipment, and outputs that drive relays or indicators. The DB9 form factor is a practical advantage in upfitter shops: crews can use off-the-shelf DB9 breakout blocks to land and re-land signals during fit-out instead of splicing conductors directly. Beyond the IBR1700, Cradlepoint documents use with products that expose a USB port when paired with the appropriate adapter, extending the cable's reach across the portfolio. The TAA part number carries Trade Agreements Act compliance for federal and other restricted procurement—relevant for the police, fire, and municipal fleets where IBR1700 installations are most common. At roughly 0.2 lb, it adds nothing meaningful to an install kit. Confirm your router's GPIO pinout in Cradlepoint's documentation before wiring.
