Will the Nerd connect directly to a Fischer cable coming from a Rebreather?

The Nerd 1 "box" has the same connector that a Petrel EXT has on it. If you can connect said cable to one of those, the Nerd will connect as well. I'm assuming that is what you are asking.

Yes. Does the Nerd 2 have the box? Or just the Fischer cable end?

fischer cable end, but it is a receiver end so it will plug into the standard fischer cable.

They are now selling their "hardwired" versions with a 4-pin subconn which is a much better solution for quick disconnects. If you have a bunch of fischer computers or heads then it may make sense to keep it, but if it's only for the sidewinder I'd consider swapping it for the subconn. It's not listed on their website, but here's the part number
#12513 - "NERD 2 Analog 4-pin AK with extension cable set.

Confused.

Will the Nerd 2 connect directly to the Fischer cable on the Sidewinder cable?

yes. What I was saying is if this is your only fischer cable and computer, I would recommend going with the subconn cable instead as it is a much better cable option than the fischer

i heard Shearwater was out of production awhile back on the Nerd 2 until they resolved some issues. Does anyone know if they are producing them again? contemplating getting a pair in the near future.

they're back in, just a bit of a lead time. 3-4 weeks right now while they're trying to keep up with teric orders and catch up with backlog nerd orders. I just ordered one for my smccr last week and was quoted end of september
