## Description

The CABLE (Convert ANT to BLE) is a revolutionary stand alone device which converts ANT+ sensor products into industry standard Bluetooth Smart connections.
The ANT+ data is then available in any application capable of consuming Bluetooth Smart profile data for: 
• Heart Rate
• Bike Power (All Types)
• Bike Speed & Cadence
• Running Speed & Cadence
• Fitness Equipment (Bike Trainer, Treadmill, Rower, Climber, Cross, Trainer)

Full control of a FE-C enabled ANT+ trainer via BLE FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) supported apps.

The CABLE also operates as a security device when attached to an object.  When the security mode is enabled your phone will alert you if someone moves the object.  Perfect for the coffee rides with your friends.

## Review summary

Users praise Cable Util for strong Zwift integration on Apple TV and easy sensor recognition, with multi-sensor support and two activity profiles. It enables ANT+ to Bluetooth bridging, easy iPad setup, and good support. However, several reviews report instability after updates, mid-ride drops, and persistent refresh loops that reset device state, along with OS compatibility issues and difficult support. Some find the latest version overly complex. Overall, it serves a niche need but reliability varies.

### Pros

- Excellent Zwift/Apple TV integration with fast, seamless recognition of HR, cadence, and Kickr.
- Supports multiple sensors and two activity profiles (cycling and running), including ANT+ to Bluetooth bridging.
- Easy setup on iPad with multi-user switching and compatibility with sensors like Vector 2, HR straps, and foot pods.
- Good support with detailed setup instructions and timely updates when issues arise.

### Cons

- App instability and state resets after updates or OS changes (e.g., iOS 12) that break connections.
- Mid-ride disconnects and constant data refreshing that prevents reliable ANT+/Bluetooth broadcasting.
- Difficulty contacting support or slow response times.
- The latest version is overly complex and hard to use for most users.
