The Icom CT-17 USB Cable (3-foot) bridges your Icom transceiver and computer with reliable CI-V/CAT control, programming, and digital mode integration. Built with an FTDI chipset, it ensures stable communication for tasks like firmware updates, remote operation, and software-driven modes (FT8, WSJT-X). Its plug-and-play design works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Durable and user-friendly, the CT-17 is essential for optimizing your radio’s performance—whether fine-tuning settings, logging data, or expanding your shack’s capabilities.

• Aftermarket Programming Cable
• FTDI USB chipset
• TX and RX Led indicators
• Cable Length: 1M (3.3 feet)
• No programming software included

FTDI VCP USB Driver

This device requires an FTDI USB VCP driver. The driver makes the USB device show up as a COM port on your computer. FTDI updates the driver often to work with the latest Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Your software will use it just like a regular COM port. A download link and instructions are included. . 

Radio Programming Software

Programming errors are usually caused by software issues, not the programming cable. Make sure the radio software works with your computer's operating system before attempting to program.
