USB-C to USB-A 2.0 Data Cable (High-Speed Shielded)
The USB-C standard allows for power-only cables which lack the internal D+/D- data lines required for MIDI and HID communication. Without these conductors, the host PC cannot initiate the enumeration process, resulting in a 'Device Not Found' state. A shielded high-speed data cable ensures the differential signal integrity required for the Katana's proprietary handshake.

Boss Tone Studio for Katana Gen 3 (Software/Driver Package)
The Gen 3 series utilizes a specific Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) that is incompatible with previous versions of Boss Tone Studio. If the specific Gen 3 driver is not registered in the OS kernel, the software will fail to bridge the communication port even if a physical connection is detected. This is a logical 'part' failure in the system's functional architecture.

Main Digital Logic Board
If high-quality cables and correct drivers fail, the root cause is a mechanical failure of the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) USB-C connector pins on the PCB. Stress on the USB-C port can cause micro-fractures in the lead-free solder joints, breaking the electrical continuity of the data traces. In this chassis, the port is integrated into the main logic board, requiring a full board replacement for a reliable fix.
