CÔRD

USB Powered ANT+ and Bluetooth Converter with heartbeatz

Part Number: CÔRD-A-8A-AA

CÔRD is unfortunately out of stock and we do not have a timeline of when it will return to stock. Please monitor our social media feed for updates. There are a few remaining in stock at Amazon if you would still like to purchase one.

Evolving from CABLE and heartbeatz, CÔRD is the USB powered version of WYÛR. CÔRD is a feature-packed, multi-protocol radio platform allowing you to send and receive data using standard ANT+ and Bluetooth fitness protocols and data formats to accommodate the broadest range of fitness sensors, equipment, wearables, and mobile devices. 

So, what does that mean? It means you can use CÔRD to connect virtually any fitness sensor to your favorite apps and devices, including the heart rate from your Apple Watch to your favorite app or device. Oh yeah, and it runs off any powered USB port.

Sensor Conversion

Convert common ANT+ Fitness Sensors to Bluetooth and Vice Versa

With this device, you can convert ANT+ to Bluetooth, Bluetooth to ANT+, and simultaneously broadcast any combination of ANT+ and Bluetooth fitness sensors as ANT+ and Bluetooth. On top of that, you can transmit any heart rate monitor (including an Apple Watch) as an ANT+ or Bluetooth heart rate signal for connecting to fitness equipment.

Apple TV Optimization

Connect more devices

Apple TV is limited to 2 Bluetooth connections outside of the remote, so you are left deciding which sensors to connect. Using CÔRD or WYÛR, you can connect as many ANT+ or Bluetooth Fitness Sensors to your Apple TV as you want! Connect your sensors to CÔRD or WYÛR via ConfigurEZ, then connect CÔRD or WYÛR to the relevant sensor profiles in your favorite virtual training app on your Apple TV. It's that simple!

Apple Watch as a Heart Rate Monitor

Baked into every NPE Home Fitness product, heartbeatz technology lets you connect the heart rate monitor in your Apple Watch as if it were a standard ANT+ or Bluetooth heart rate monitor.

Which product is right for me?

Let’s be honest: Connectivity can be complex. That’s why our Product Decision Guide is here— to help you find what works best for your unique situation.

Very easy to set up and works perfectly

Easy to set up with the app. The connection is always stable. No battery to replace, always ready!

Generally Good

It connects easily and transfers without any issues so far. Easy to use. My only note is that it doesn't seem to be able to send resistance or power metrics from my Schwinn AC Performance, only cadence.

Zwift Compatible??

NPE have been stating that they are "working with Zwift" to make steering compatible for as long as I can remember. This is obviously so blatantly false. Why they can't admit that it simply isn't compatible I don't know.

Hi Rebecca,

We are working with Zwift on the integration. The Zwift Play Controllers use a proprietary connection protocol, so until we are able to complete the integration with the Zwift team they will not be compatible. We are working on it, but these things take time, sometimes longer than anyone would like.

Thank you,

NPE Team

Great when it works

It works great… when it works. I learned I had to reboot the trainer and cord device before every time I do an indoor ride, then it would connect well and stay connected. If I don’t reboot trainer and replug the cord dongle I have only a 50% of making it through the ride without connection issues.

My setup is a Zwift hub trainer connected to zwift on iPad via cord (ant+ to BLE) and also connected to TrainerRoad on an android phone via Bluetooth.
