About CABLE Util
The CABLE (Convert ANT to BLE) is a revolutionary stand alone device which converts ANT+ sensor products into industry standard Bluetooth Smart connections.
The ANT+ data is then available in any application capable of consuming Bluetooth Smart profile data for:
• Heart Rate
• Bike Power (All Types)
• Bike Speed & Cadence
• Running Speed & Cadence
• Fitness Equipment (Bike Trainer, Treadmill, Rower, Climber, Cross, Trainer)
Full control of a FE-C enabled ANT+ trainer via BLE FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) supported apps.
This is the only stand-alone ANT+ to Bluetooth Smart converter on the market.
The CABLE also operates as a security device when attached to an object. When the security mode is enabled your phone will alert you if someone moves the object. Perfect for the coffee rides with your friends.

CABLE FW v2.2.4 included!!!
We have heard from some of you that your control of your trainers has gone away. It seems the CABLE took the summer off from the indoor trainer just like you did. Well, the FW update for CABLE included in this release will bring that life back into your device.
We have also heard from some of you that your trainer has the app continually interested in performing a spin-down. We have grown tired of that as well so we have convinced the app to only let you know once.
Some users have told us that their Schwinn bikes indicate they are still pedaling when they are coasting. This update to CABLE will help to get your avatar in Zwift to match what you are actually doing in your basement.
If you have not heard, XERT has recently announced full integration with the CABLE for sensor management to include the Garmin Bike Radar. This is the first bike console app to fully integrate the CABLE for bringing ANT+ sensors into the smart phone platforms. This FW update will allow full support for the XERT implementation.

CABLE Firmware update v1.9.8
• Fix for ANT+ Wheel Torque decode to address speed reporting issue on some devices
• Fix for delay in FTMS/FE-C communications when using CABLE with a controllable trainer
• Fix for occasional data dropouts. Users should monitor the status of the LED on the CABLE to see if it changes from green to red when their data seems to get stuck or drops out. If the CABLE is flashing red, it means the ANT device has lost tracking and is scanning for the sensor.

CABLE Config Application
Application will now restore the saved configuration values when the firmware is updated.
CABLE Firmware Update 1.8.3
•FTMS (Bluetooth Fitness Machine Service). i.e. It works with Zwift
-Treadmill correction to work properly with Zwift
-Corrected Treadmill Instantaneous Speed Conversion
-Corrected Indoor Bike Instantaneous Speed Conversion
-Implemented Rower ANT+ Fitness Equipment Profile to Rower Bluetooth Fitness Machine support (Kinomap is supporting this Bluetooth Service now!!!)
•FE Rower Support
-Some customers requested a special consideration for converting Rower FE stroke rate data to bike cadence. They pointed out they use Zwift with their rower. The challenge is the stroke rate needs to be multiplied by 3.3 to get an equivalent bike cadence to work properly with Zwift. As a result we perform a special conversion when translating Rower specific stroke rate to cadence in CPS and CSCS so you can row at a similar rate as the bikes. We did not touch power so you cannot get a higher power number than your console is showing you. There was no change made for the FE -> FTMS rower support, so once apps start to use the FTMS Rower there should be no issue with conversion.
•Motion Detection
- Improved motion sensitivity
