CABLE (Connect ANT+ to BLE)

Have used this now for nearly 3 months and it is a great little piece of tech. The setup guidance in NPE website is good. No problem getting the Garmin HR and Speed/Cad sensor to be detected by the software. Once that is done the outputs need to be mapped to the BLE Output. You can rename the Cable's default Bluetooth if you wish. I left mine as default. I found that the phone and the Apple TV were both trying to connect to the cable. So you need to then forget the cable from the phones list of know BTooth connections. The guidance does advise that but who reads all the guidance!? Specific note to Zwift users. I pair only HR and Cadence to the Cable. The Kickr is direct BLE connection to the Apple TV4k. When running Zwift through Apple TV 4k, in the pairing screen let the Cable be detected and then while still in the pairing screen just pedal and wait till you see the cadence value appear on the pairing screen. the HR should show pretty quickly but cadence does take a few seconds to show. On my setup initially I just went straight to Zwift after the sensors were detected but I wasn't getting a reliable cadence.

I bought this to connect my ANT+ Garmin Heart Rate monitor and Garmin Cadence meter to my iPad running Zwift or Fulgaz. Setup is a little fiddly - you have to use the iPhone app to set it up, easy enough, BUT it then isn't made clear that 1) you have to close the iPhone app or the devices remain connected to that app and won't connect to anything else 2) to pair with Zwift etc. you do in those apps, you do not go into iPad/iPhone bluetooth settings and pair with the cable device signals Once I worked that out all plain sailing, been using for a few months now, invaluable.

Shocking product on so many levels. (1) no instructions (2) url for instructions doesn't work (3) try googling instructions for a product as badly named as CABLE. Here's a free bit of advice NPE, rename Kable or similar so people can actually find it if you can't be bothered to actually give instructions (4) when I did find out about it's just IOS compatible, no Android which was what I was intending on using it on. (5) price, I was a bit desperate but over £50 for such a similar connector is robbery in hindsight

The item came well packaged after a week or so well within the delivery date. Took a little while to get my head around how to make everything work. You need to have access to a suitable device to download the app in my case an i-pad, check this out before ordering. It is a case of placing the CABLE onto the i-pad and activating it. You are given a choice of available ANT devices to then put into the units profile.It is then a case of simply giving the unit a quick tap to activate the unit and it converts all your profiled ANT signals and transmits them as one Bluetooth bundle. In our case we have a Tacx Neo and whilst everything works fine on ANT or Bluetooth when I use it upstairs on my PC with the Tacx software or with Zwift we wanted to use the trainer in the living room to go on Zwift. The cheapest way to do this was to purchase an Apple TV 4GB. The Apple TV unit is Bluetooth only, and whilst it could pick up the Tacx Neo in that format the chest straps on mine and my sons Garnin 520's were ANT only and so we had no HR. This CABLE device has solved that issue. It would also enable my partner to run her Polar HRM chest strap into the unit. Though I haven't tried it I believe it would also be possible to use the CABLE to gather information from a suitable ANT computer like the Garmin and have that coupled up to a basic trainer which whilst not being smart, i.e. varying resistance it would enable a lot of the 'workout' features in something like Zwift to be fully accessible at a reasonable price point.

Works great although expensive and sometimes a faff to set up

Delighted... works perfectly, easy to setup, delivered very quickly. Great gadget, Brilliant servive

Works perfect for connecting my HR monitor to zwift through Apple Tv

The device we ordered was very easy to install and work with. We would order it again via this supplier in case needed.

Il prodotto e’ fantastico. Ho collegato tutti i sensori Ant+ del mio Garmin al CABLE in un minuto e dopo pochi secondi con un solo canale Bluetooth sono stati trasmessi alla mia Apple TV 4K per utilizzarli con Zwift in abbinamento ai valori di potenza e velocita’ inviati dal mio Wahoo Kickr Core 2018. Stra consigliato. La velocita’ di spedizione dagli Usa e’ stata incredibile.

Fonctionne parfaitement. Aucun bug Permet bien de "transformer" un signal ANT+ en bluetooth. Je l'utilise avec un Bikeerg concept2 pour le relier sur une Apple TV ( pour Zwift). Et me permet de connecter mon téléphone sur le Bikeerg en bluetooth sur un autre logiciel. Je voulais mettre 4 étoiles car l'étape de la programmation n'est pas des plus simple, mais celà est vite oublié à l'usage...( Il s'allume et se connecte tout seule) en gros une fois paramétrer, plus besoin de rien faire il se connecte seul au vélo et Apple TV des le premier tour de pédale et que la TV est allumé. Top. Attention, appareil iOS obligatoire pour le paramétrage.

Esta todo en ingles, pero es sencillo y hay tutoriales en youtube que te ayudan a configurarlo. Necesitaras descargar la aplicacion “Cable util” para poder hacerlo. Con este aparato conseguiras, por ejemplo, vincular tu podometro (en mi caso el podometro de Garmin) con la aplicacion de Zwift en el movil o tablet, al transformar la señal Ant+ del podometro en señal bluetooth que detecta el movil o tablet.

俗に言うANT+ドングルです。 ANT+をBluetoothに変換して出力します。 私はZwiftで使用。 ANT+出力しかない、一台のパワーメーターを接続。 受け側はAppelTV 。 他のドングルと差は、USBポートが要らない事！これに尽きる。 そして、パワーメーターだけでは無く、心拍計やスピード、ケイデンスセンサーも同時に一括でANT+からBluetoothに変換して出力してくれます。(心拍計はありがたいかと思います) そして、安定性は良い。今までZwift 中にロストした事は無い。普通にパワーメーターが出力し始めると即Bluetooth出力し始める。接続スピードも速い。タイムラグは無い。 一度パワーメーターや心拍計が接続されれば、次からは自動で接続されるので、気にせずスタート出来る。(これもロストした事が無い) CR2032電池が電源、半年くらいは持つ感じです。 受けと、出力の送受信距離もある程度ルーズでOK 背中ポケットに入れても全く気にならない小型さ、内部電源なので屋外でも使える。 と良いところばかりです。少々お高いですのと、英語表記なので、そこさえって感じです。

I was in the same situation as most posters here trying to connect my Garmin ANT+ sensors to Zwift using an iPad. The Wahoo ANT+ dongle is so frustratingly temperamental with the iPad, I finally bought this wonderful product. Works perfectly and is easy to setup. Fast delivery and great service! I fully recommend this product.
