Skywatcher telescope control cable

This USB TTL cable connects Skywatcher EQ6-R, AZEQ6 and AZEQ5 mounts to a computer for direct control. The 45 cm link uses an FTDI chipset and a 5 V RJ45 interface to translate telescope commands without extra drivers.

Sustained operation stability

The FTDI bridge maintains reliable serial communication during long imaging sessions without timing drift. Fixed cable length limits placement flexibility for permanent observatory installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 45 cm cable draw enough power to warm up during all-night guiding sessions?

The cable uses a 5 V USB supply and an FTDI TTL converter, so power draw is minimal and it stays cool during extended use.

Which mount ports and computer interfaces must I already have for this cable to work?

You need an EQ6-R, AZEQ6 or AZEQ5 mount with an RJ-45 hand-controller port and a free USB-A port on the computer.
