Key Features

Description

This Explore Scientific dual plug cable bridges a computer to PMC-Eight OPENGoTo telescope mount systems, carrying ASCOM communications over either a DB9 or USB 2.0 Mini B connection depending on the mount. Its Y-shaped design splits into two 9-foot legs for an 18-foot spread between devices, useful when the mount and computer sit farther apart than a single cable would allow. The DB9 leg uses an industry-standard FTDI chipset that installs as a normal Windows COM port and supports operating systems from Windows XP through Linux and Mac OS X.


  • ASCOM communication for PMC-Eight mounts: Connects a computer to EXOS2GT, Losmandy G11, and iEXOS series mounts running PMC-Eight OPENGoTo.
  • 18-foot device spread: Two 9-foot cable legs let the mount and computer sit farther apart than a single cable allows.
  • FTDI chipset DB9 connection: Installs as a standard Windows COM port with full RS-232 modem and data signal support.
  • Broad OS compatibility: Supports Windows XP through Windows 10, Linux 2.4+, and Mac OS X 10.6 and above.
  • USB 2.0 Mini B charging: Can charge compatible 5V DC devices in addition to carrying mount communication.
