Auxiliary Cable Kit

A collection of auxiliary cables made from premium soft and flexible silicone coated wire.

The star of the collection is a 9 pin 'SH' style cable that fits the auxiliary connection below main Bus Pirate connector. This cable is handy for connecting external equipment like a logic analyzer - without cramming multiple probe hooks onto a single tiny chip lead.

This silicone coated wire feels so nice we made a bundle of color coded jumper cables and Y style splitter cables too.

Auxiliary Connector Cable

A 9 pin cable connects the Bus Pirate auxiliary connector to external tools like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes etc.

  • 9pin 1.0mm 'SH' female connector to 9 x 1pin 2.54mm 'DuPont' female connectors
  • 30AWG super soft and flexible premium silicone coated wire. The inner strands are very fine tinned copper. The silicone coating has a very nice feel, and is tolerant of high heat and chemicals.
