In order to need only one cable (d-sub 9 and USB A), Arcimoto modified the CANdapter. Out of the box, the CANdapter uses pins 3&5 on the Dsub for data. Whereas the PCAN adapter uses pins 2&7 on the dsub 9 pin plug. Arcimoto put a jumper on the CANdapter so that an extra cable isn't needed just for it.

Arcimoto seems to use 2 different CAN adapters: The PCAN adapter and the CANdapter. From each adapter, you need to make a cable so that one end is a d-sub 9 that plugs into the adapter with the other end that plugs into the Arcimoto. The adapter you buy has a d-sub 9 on one end and the other is a USB that plugs into a computer and run appropriate software for each Adapter.
