Go to the NCE site, there you can download the USB manual and get the info from
"the horse's mouth" so to speak.

O.K. The the correct connections are:
Power cab plugged into the adapter panel in its usual socket and the USP
adapter plugged into the socket right next to where the power cab is
plugged in on the same adapter plate. Am I correct?
The reference
is not clear on that.
Peace,

Is the NCE USB board usable with the Power Cab?
What I do not understand it that a couple of years ago, I was reading
the parameters from the decoder and modifying speed steps using this
adapter. What it was plugged into, I am not sure now if you say I can't
do that.
Anyway, I will pursue other adapters.
Peace,

If you are using the NCE USB board with your NCE Power Pro (plugged into
the
cab bus), you'll never be able to program locos.
You need a third-party USB-Serial cable (such as the one ESU sells as a
spare for its LokProgrammer hardware, or the similar FDTI-chipset based
one
from RRCirKits), plugged into the 9-pin serial port on the metal Power Pro
box.
No point further logs or speculation until that's resolved.
