About This Device
The Cradlepoint TAA-170767-000 COR extensibility cable adapts the SATA-style extensibility interface on compact Cradlepoint routers to a standard 9-pin DB9 serial connector. At 305 mm—one foot—it is intentionally short: an adapter cable that hands off to existing DB9 serial cabling rather than a long run of its own, keeping cabinet and vehicle installations tidy.
The cable serves the IBR900/IBR950 and IBR600C/IBR650C families, whose COR extensibility port carries serial signaling on a SATA-form connector. With this cable attached, the router presents the DB9 interface that decades of industrial and public-safety equipment expect—mobile data terminals, GPS receivers, industrial controllers, diagnostic ports, and telemetry units all connect without a converter box. In vehicle upfits, that means an IBR900 can talk directly to serial-interfaced onboard equipment; in fixed industrial cabinets, an IBR600C can poll a legacy RTU or controller while providing the site's cellular WAN.
Used alongside the COR Extensibility Dock (TAA-170700-000), the cable rounds out a compact router's expansion story: modem capability from the dock, serial integration from this cable, all managed through the host router in NetCloud. The TAA part number carries Trade Agreements Act compliance for government procurement—consistent with the rest of Cradlepoint's TAA accessory line, so an entire bill of materials can stay compliant. Listed shipping weight is about two pounds. Confirm your router's extensibility pinout in Cradlepoint documentation before connecting equipment.
