Default Fast track tablet cable

Hello,
I have lost my cable that connects to my iPad, can someone please point me to a compatible cable for my iPad? 30-pin or lightning is fine. I have searched and can’t seem to find a cable to purchase.

Cheers
RB

I'm confused How can it NOT matter if its 30 pin or lightening? What exact things are you trying to connect? I'm guessing the Fast Track is standard USB out. Are you going directly to the iPad, or are you using a camera adapter? All manner of cables can be found on amazon.com

Sorry for the confusion. Original cable was 30-pin, but I just use an adapter to lightning to go into the iPad. Ther is a standard USB cable on the back, this is not the cable I need. The port on the back of the FTS is labeled Tablet, and has a different connection. I have scoured Amazon and found nothing that would work, not saying they don’t have it, but I couldn’t find it. I am trying to use the FTS to record direct to my iPad using the FTS. Link shows FTS, the port marked Tablet is the issue.
Thank you for the help!!!

Isn’t that just a USB A port? Sure looks like it in the picture.

If it is, then surely all you need is a USB A to lightning cable. Same cable every iPhone and iPad shipped with until they recently switched to USB C chargers and cables.

It is not the USB A port, I’d have to be very dense to be asking for help with that one. The cable I need goes into the Tablet port pictured to 30-pin IPad connector. It is not a USB A/B/C, mini, micro that I can tell. I would have never guessed that a simple cable would be so illusive.
Thank you for the help

Well, if that’s not a USB A socket then I have no idea what it is. Sure as hell looks like a USB A socket to me.

So that last post in the thread you linked calls it a ‘device link cable’. No idea what that is, but it looks very similar to a USB A port. Maybe something proprietary? I wouldn’t have thought so but who knows.

I’d say contacting M-Audio is going to be your best bet in this case.
