  • Software Bisque 8-Conductor Through-the-Mount Power Cable

    The Software Bisque 8-Conductor Through-the-Mount Power Cable is the essential link for powering your instrument panel, ensuring reliable connections for your imaging gear. This genuine replacement part weighs 2 lbs and ships in a 10 × 9 × 3 in package, designed for seamless integration with your high-end mount.

    8-Conductor Power for Paramount ME Instrument Panels

    This 8-conductor cable is engineered specifically to route power from the mount's Adapter Panel directly through the mount chassis to the Instrument Panel. It activates the powered camera port, as well as the auxiliary 1 and auxiliary 2 ports, ensuring your imaging equipment receives stable power without the risk of external cable snags during a meridian flip.

    Confirmed Compatibility for Paramount ME & Bisque TCS

    As a genuine Software Bisque component, this cable guarantees a perfect fit and correct electrical connection for specific systems. It is the correct replacement or spare cable for the Paramount ME, Bisque TCS Standard Edition, and Bisque TCS Professional telescope control systems, maintaining the integrity and cable management of your setup.

  • What is the purpose of the Software Bisque 8-Conductor Power Cable?

    This cable's primary function is to supply power from the Adapter Panel of a compatible mount to the Instrument Panel. It energizes the powered camera, auxiliary 1, and auxiliary 2 ports, allowing you to power your equipment directly through the mount.

    Which mounts is this 8-Conductor Power Cable compatible with?

    This cable is specifically designed for and compatible with the following Software Bisque products:

    • Paramount ME
    • Bisque TCS Standard Edition
    • Bisque TCS Professional

    Why is a "through-the-mount" cable important for a Paramount ME setup?

    Routing power internally through the mount is a critical design feature that prevents cable drag and snags. As the telescope tracks across the sky and performs meridian flips, this cable ensures that your camera and accessory power lines move with the mount, eliminating a major cause of tracking errors and equipment damage.

    Is this an official Software Bisque part?

    Yes, this is a genuine, factory-specified 8-Conductor Through-the-Mount Power Cable from Software Bisque. Using official components ensures correct pinouts, electrical integrity, and physical fit, protecting your investment in your mount and imaging equipment.

    I'm setting up my Paramount ME for imaging the Andromeda Galaxy (M31); will this cable help prevent snags?

    Absolutely. For long imaging sessions on targets like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), your mount will track for hours, often across the meridian. The Software Bisque 8-Conductor Power Cable routes power internally, which is crucial for preventing external wires from snagging on the mount or tripod, thereby safeguarding your tracking and your gear.

    My Bisque TCS system isn't powering the instrument panel ports. Could this 8-conductor cable be the issue?

    If the powered ports on your Bisque TCS Instrument Panel are inactive, a faulty or disconnected internal power cable is a potential cause. Verifying the connection of this 8-Conductor Cable or replacing it if it's damaged is a key troubleshooting step to restore power to your camera and accessories.
