Cables

All Bus Pirate cables are made with super soft and flexible premium silicone coated wire. The inner strands are very fine tinned copper. 22AWG has 60 strands 0.08mm thick (bottom), compared to 8-12 strands in common wires (top). The silicone coating has a very nice feel, and tolerates high heat and chemicals.

A high quality probe cable to connect the Bus Pirate to test hooks, milled breadboard pins and pin header.

TJC8 connector #

Keyed, locking 2.54mm female connector. TJC8 or HX25418.

Unhoused 2.54mm crimps #

2.54mm ‘DuPont’ female crimps, without a housing. Many test probes will now accept a 2.54mm Dupont crimp housing, but many don’t. The probe cable uses unhoused crimps wrapped with color coded, labeled shrink tube.

Printed Shrink Tube #

Shrink tube varies wildly in color quality. A lot of colors just don’t pop: dull lifeless pastels or just too dark. We ended up sourcing from two manufacturers to get a reasonably nice set of colors. Woer is able to print on the shrink tube, and also printed on the tubes from Dongguan Sanlian.

Auxiliary Cable #

Pin	Wire Type	Wire Color	Wire Length	Connector 1	Connector 2	Bus Pirate Signal
1-8	30AWG Silicone	Gray	170mm	9pin 1.0mm ‘SH’, female	1pin 2.54mm ‘DuPont’, female	IO0-IO7
9	30AWG Silicone	Black	170mm	-	1pin 2.54mm ‘DuPont’, female	Ground

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

The first version of this cable had all black crimp housings and it was a pain to find the right tiny wire. We sourced white plastic crimp housings and dyed them to match the color labels on the display and probe cable. Just for fun we dyed the SH connector black as well. Now it’s a lot easier to use.

Y Splitter Cable #

Pin	Wire Type	Wire Color	Wire Length	Connector 1	Connector 2
1	22AWG Silicone	Black/Red/Gray	170mm	1pin 2.54mm ‘DuPont’, female	2*1pin 2.54mm ‘DuPont’, female

A high quality splitter cable to make multiple connections to a single pin. Connect power and ground to multiple devices, or share a 1-Wire, I2C or SPI bus between several chips.

Jumper Cable #

Pin	Wire Type	Wire Color	Wire Length	Connector 1	Connector 2
1	22AWG Silicone	Black/Red/Gray	170mm	1pin 2.54mm ‘DuPont’, female	1pin 2.54mm ‘DuPont’, female

A high quality jumper wire to quickly connect your latest breakout board.
