The USB-17 cable referred to serves only for rig control.? It's a perfectly good option for rig control but will not faciltate CW keying on the IC7400, because that rig does not support a text to CW feature.

CW keying is entirely separate from rig control - you can have either or both.? For keying, the options are SD's internal keyer, or an external keyer such as WinKey or the microHAM CW Keyer.? With SD's internal keyer, smooth CW cannot be guaranteed (but it may be OK) because of interruptions from Windows.? To use SD's internal? keyer, refer to CW KEYING on page 6 of the manual SD.PDF - it requires a USB to serial converter (for PCs with USB outputs) and a simple 1-transisitor/resistor level converter as described.

WinKeyer USB is, by far, the simplest keying solution- it is supported by all logging programs.? The UK distributor is Kanga UK https://www.kanga-products.co.uk/ but they seem to be closed at present.? Here's the USA site - https://www.k1elsystems.com/WKUSBX.html
or https://www.k1elsystems.com/WKmini.html

I don't recommend the microHAM CW keyer because it uses a separate control program for setting parameters, and it does not recognise some of SD's relevant setup commands. However, it has the big advantage of supporting both rig-control and CW keying in a single unit - https://www.microham.com/contents/en-us/d22_CK.html
