  • Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable

    The Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable, shipping in a compact 9 × 8 × 3 in package, solves a critical clearance issue for Paramount mount users observing at high latitudes where the standard power plug can interfere with the azimuth adjuster.

    A 90-Degree Solution for High-Latitude Paramount Setups

    For astronomers using Paramount mounts at high latitudes, the physical geometry of the setup can create a frustrating problem: the standard, straight-in power cable can collide with the mount's azimuth adjustment knobs. This interference can limit travel, put stress on the power port, or cause an unexpected loss of power during a slew. This right-angle power cable is the definitive solution, changing the cable's exit path to run parallel to the mount body, ensuring it remains clear of any hardware through all axes of motion.

  • Which Software Bisque mounts is the Right Angle Power Cable compatible with?

    The right angle plug is compatible with the Paramount ME/MX input power plug, for the 220W power supply that is standard on the Paramount ME II and optional for the Paramount MX+ and MYT. It is not for Series 6 (MKS 6000) mounts, whose Power In jack differs from all earlier versions (MKS 3000-MKS 5000). It specifically addresses the common clearance issue between the standard power plug and the azimuth adjustment hardware on these models.

    Why do I need the Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable?

    If you operate your Paramount mount at high latitudes, the angle of the polar axis can cause a standard straight power plug to physically hit the azimuth adjuster. The Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable prevents this collision, protecting the port from damage and ensuring a reliable power connection.

    I'm setting up my Paramount MYT in Alaska. Is the Right Angle Power Cable necessary?

    Yes, for any setup at high latitudes like those in Alaska, this cable is a highly recommended accessory. It ensures your power connection remains secure and does not foul on the azimuth adjustment hardware, which is a significant risk at those locations.

    Will the Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable improve my Paramount MX+'s slew speed?

    No, the cable itself does not affect slew speed. This cable is an ergonomic accessory for the optional 220W power supply, which is what enables maximum slew rates on the Paramount MX+ and MYT mounts. The cable ensures you can use that power supply without physical interference.

    Does the Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable include the power supply?

    The description covers the 220W power supply (standard with the Paramount ME II, optional for the Paramount MX+ and MYT) fitted with a right angle power plug, but does not say whether the supply ships with this item. Contact us to confirm what is included before ordering.

    Is the Software Bisque Right Angle Power Cable difficult to install?

    The right angle plug is compatible with the Paramount ME/MX input power plug, so it connects in place of the straight plug.
