A 1.8m USB 2.0 Cable for Mount Control
This cable connects the USB Type-B port found on many Sky-Watcher mounts directly to a standard USB Type-A port on your control PC, laptop, or USB hub. At 1.8 meters, it offers a practical length for most portable and permanent setups. The beige color helps it stand out from other black cables in a complex wiring loom, simplifying setup and teardown in the dark.

What is the RB Focus 1.8m USB cable used for with Sky-Watcher mounts?
This cable establishes a direct data connection between a Sky-Watcher mount's USB-B port and a computer's USB-A port. This allows for direct control of the mount using ASCOM drivers or other telescope control software, bypassing the need to connect through a hand controller.
Will this 1.8m RB Focus cable work with my specific Sky-Watcher mount model?
RB Focus names no mount models. It fits a Sky-Watcher mount with a USB Type-B port; check your mount has that port.
What do the 60°C and 30V ratings on the RB Focus cable mean?
They are the cable's temperature and voltage ratings: 60 °C and 30 V.
Is this RB Focus cable a USB 3.0 cable for faster data transfer?
No, it is a USB 2.0 cable (Type-A male to Type-B male).
Can I use this 1.8m RB Focus cable to power my Sky-Watcher mount?
No. This is a data cable only and is not designed to supply the high current required to power a telescope mount. You must always use your mount's dedicated 12V DC power input and power supply for operation.
