Replacement Mini USB Cable for URC Remotes

This 2.5 ft black cable connects compatible Universal Remote Control models to a computer for programming. It supports the MX-780, MX-810, MX-880, MX-890, MX-900, MX-950, MX-980, MX-1200 and newer generation MX-3000 remotes. Precision connectors and twisted-pair construction enable high-speed data transfer up to 480 Mbits/sec. It is a direct replacement for a lost or damaged original programming cable.

Upgrading from a worn or missing original cable

Installers and owners should order this cable when the factory-supplied Mini USB lead is lost, frayed or no longer seats securely. The jump is worth it whenever a remote fails to enumerate on the programming PC or drops connection mid-upload. Do not purchase this cable for MX-3000 units manufactured before 9/2003; it will not fit the older generation port.

Verify remote model and generation before ordering

Confirm the exact model number printed on the remote battery compartment or rear label. For MX-3000 remotes, check the manufacture date to ensure it is the newer generation produced after 9/2003. Ensure the host computer has an available standard USB Type-A port for the cable's upstream connector. No driver installation is typically required for the programming software to recognise the link.
