The TA cable is a special purpose cable with what appears to be an A
connector on both ends.  There in no telling what magic Ceton put into
their cable.  My ETH6 shipped without the TA cable.  A short email
exchange with customer service and they shipped me the missing
cable.  I was satisfied with the customer service.

I have been running my ETH6 for a couple years now.  There have been no
cooling problem.  I regularly use 3 channels simultaneously.  And,
there are times that all 6 are running.  I have the unit mounted
vertically, which I'm sure helps with convection cooling.  I haven't
look at the temperature readings in over a year.
