Can I use a USB-A cable or my own USB-C cable with the P2 Solo?

Can I use a USB-A cable or my own USB-C cable with the P2 Solo?

Please use our validated, USB-C cable that has ‘P2’ at the head and tail of the cable. This is included in the box.

If your computer does not have a type-C port, please request a type-A cable your technical services representative. The ONT provided cables have been validated. Alternative, off-the-shelf cables have not been validated and could lead to a communication issue.
