TI-83 Plus silver: Is the cable an essential piece or can I get by without it?

You can definitely get by without it. You'll only need the cable in case you would like to add extra programs from the computer. As long as you are in high school, and mostly college, too, any extra programs would be non-essential (such as games).

I'm donating it so it's packed away right now. I seem to recall a cable that had a standard A connector on it. Whatever it was, it didn't meet my needs, and I bought a 2 port front panel USB 3 unit.

If this question has come to me because it's the same one I purchased, rest easy, it will include the cable. Get ready to rock!

This cable will work but you also need a cd with the appropriate programming information for your computer. If you have that, you should be good to go.

The industry standard is Tin (silver) = Ground/black/minus, and reddish (bronze) = signal/plus. But basically it wouldn't matter as long BOTH cables are connected the same way, either BOTH cables have reddish (bronze) connected to signal/+, or BOTH cables reddish connected to Ground/-

Yes. Any time you have unused connections within your cable system, such as an unused port on a splitter or power amp, you should terminate it with a 75-ohm terminator. This can prevent signal loss, "ghost" images appearing on your screen, etc.F Type 75 Ohm Terminator - 10 Pack

I don't think it does because the ports are different from a TI-84. Hope this helps..

yup. I connect it to my laptop that way. the cable is included, but a tad short

You just need one TRS 1/4" cable. It has two male connections on one side and one male connection on the other

No you won't need one.If you plug a cable in the lan port,you can hook that to your PC.

Yes; however, I did not have the necessary technology in my computer to use this cable. I am stuck with a cable that fits but dose nothing else.

I do not think that it impedes anything I did. it worked fine. The impedance was more associated with the drill bit that was not sharp enough. It impeded my progress a bit, but the cable did not. He he, yes, I know. But I did not do an impedance test on the cable. I never do as these types of cables to fine. I also did not count the shield layers or do a alphabet sort on the connectors or a test of twist rates or ground strength. Just my humorous way of saying... I have no clue. Sorry, could not resist.

Personally, I went with the SMA Female to BNC then a second adaptor cable (BNC to SO-239). Hope that helps.

$5.59 cable from bestbuy as recommended below should not work, you need an "expensive" cable which has circuitry inside to translate the signal from computer to the meter.For example this one: EZsync USB Download Data Cable for Abbott Alphatrak 2 Blood Glucose Meter and Alphatraker SoftwareYou also need to download Alpha Tracker software from abbot website to manage the data.
