Stop fighting RFI. Start making contacts. Standard consumer cables aren't built for the RF environment of a ham shack. This cable is. Designed and torture-tested by hams, the NA6D cable eliminates the RFI that causes USB lockups and transmit issues..

Choose Your Connection

Select the Host Side connector that fits your setup. All cables feature a Right-Angle USB-C on the device side to keep cabling away from your HT antenna.

  • USB-A (60cm): The standard for most laptops, desktops, and Raspberry Pi 3/4/5.
  • USB-C (60cm): Perfect for modern MacBooks, tablets, and Android phones.
  • Micro USB (30cm or 60cm): The "Dongle Killer." Connects directly to a Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2 W without OTG adapters.
    • 30cm: Ultra-compact for piggyback portable nodes.
    • 60cm: Standard reach for field operations.

Engineered for Radio

We engineered the specs to solve radio-specific problems

  • Antenna-Clearance Right Angle: The cable keeps the cable away from the antenna on the HT to minimize inductive coupling and reduces mechanical strain. 
  • Resonance-Free Length: At 60cm, the length is calculated to avoid acting as an antenna on 2m and 70cm frequencies.
  • Dual Massive Ferrites: Two RH ferrite cores provide over 100Ω of impedance at 100MHz, crushing common-mode current before it hits your device.
  • Premium Shielding & Materials: A high-quality copper braid and foil wrap protect the data lines, encased in premium TPE that stays flexible in cold field conditions.

Torture Tested

Validated in worst-case RF scenarios where standard cables caused USB lockups. The NA6D cable holds the line, maintaining stable data and power connections even when the RF gain is cranked up.
