Default USB Cable question

Hey guys...I have a C&L Intake and Predator tuner coming from someone on this board, but he didn't have the USB Cable. I have a few questions

1- what is the model number on this particular usb cable
2-were can i get this

I tried calling Doug at Bama Chips but I'm guessing they are VERY busy b/c I can never get through.

Someone said that I could go to Target and buy the cable, but that didn't make sense to me. Don't I have
to get a usb cable thats going to fit into the Predator Tuner (and doesnt that have a specific fitting)

You can get them anywhere. You may already have one for your printer, or a external card reader for a pc, or even a digital camera.
Radio shack, but pay high prices, best buy, circuit city, etc...

Im assuming its simular to the SCT usb cable.

I have the XCal2 but doubt its any different. The cable that hooks from the Predator to the car is a big heavy unit that is permanently attached to the Predator. A USB cable is used to hook the Predator to a Laptop/Desktop. It is a standard thing availableat any electronics store.

Thanks guys! For some reason, I don't think my laptop came with one but I'll ask my computer brother. He's a genius when it comes to computers. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!!
