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.
