Default USB Cable type for Cambridge 302 Flight Recorder

I recently upgraded a 302A flight recorder at Cambridge. It has the
USB port installed. I am now trying to use my laptop to download the
data. Jeff over at Cambridge did not say what type of USB cable was
necessary to download the files but there are different types of USB
cables. I have a USB to USB for windows to transfer files from one
laptop to another but I am having difficulty with the flight recorder
connecting to the laptop. I have already tried to change the port
numbers as suggested in other threads. Thanks for any replies. Doug


Call Cambridge. And while at it ask them why they put a USB "A"
receptacle on a USB slave device. How hard would it have been to put a
proper USB B or mini-B connector and just let this work with standard
USB cables?
