Each cable comes with the drivers and Test Program: To test the cable before using it in DAK.  This has a couple of advantages:
a. You don't have to guess the com port anymore
b. You eliminated a factor (the cable) if connectivity between DAK and the knitting machine doesn't work.
 

DesignaKnit communicates with your knitting machine via a cable between your computer and the knitting machine. Soft Byte developed during the development of DesignaKnit also a set of cables to connect your computer to your knitting machine. These cables use a serial port of your computer.

The Silverlink 4 provides both serial and USB connectivity.
All other cables are only available in the serial variant. In order to attach a serial cable to a USB port, you currently need a qualified USB to serial converter.

A set of cables have been developed that interfaces directly to a USB port without the need of an additional USB to serial converter. The cables have the same functionality as the Brotherlink cables with the same number. The difference (apart from a complete new design) is that you no longer need a serial port on your PC. You now hook up your knitting machine to your PC via USB.
