FPGA cable for PL-USB-BLASTER-RCN.

Customer has a damaged FPGA cable (orange cable) on his PL-USB-BLASTER-RCN. We are having a hard time trying to find a replacement cable for it. Does anyone have an idea what the part number is?

The flex cable is not a separately replaceable part ... you'd have to buy a whole new unit for US$300.

Instead I recommend a TerASIC USB Blaster instead, just US$50 at Mouser, DigiKey, etc.

Or if you are really cheap search Amazon for 'USB Blaster'; clones of the device are available for US$10-$15.
