  • Software Bisque Paramount ME II/MX/MX+/MYT External Power Cable Set (SBIG 6 Pin)

    This dedicated cable set powers SBIG cameras with a 6-pin DIN connector directly through your Paramount mount's internal cabling, eliminating a common source of cable snag. Shipping in a compact 10 × 9 × 3 in package, it provides a clean power solution that protects your tracking accuracy.

    Streamlined Power for SBIG 6-Pin Cameras

    Clean cable management is critical for reliable, long-exposure imaging. This external power cable set allows you to leverage the built-in, through-the-mount power ports on your Paramount ME II, MX, MX+, or MYT. By powering your compatible 6-pin SBIG camera this way, you remove the need for a separate power line running from your power supply to the camera, reducing the risk of drag, snags, and ruined sub-exposures.

  • Which Paramount mounts are compatible with this 6-pin SBIG power cable set?

    This cable set is designed specifically for the Software Bisque Paramount ME II, MX, MX+, and MYT models. It utilizes the through-the-mount power routing features of these specific mounts.

    What is the main benefit of using this Paramount External Power Cable Set?

    The primary benefit is cable management. By powering your camera through the mount, you eliminate a loose cable that can drag or snag as the mount tracks across the sky. This leads to more reliable tracking and fewer lost exposures, especially during long imaging sessions or automated meridian flips.

    Will this cable work with my SBIG camera that does not use a 6-pin DIN connector?

    No. This cable is specifically wired for SBIG cameras that utilize the 6-pin DIN power connector. It will not work with cameras that use a different type of power input, such as a standard 2.1mm barrel connector.

    How does this cable set help my imaging setup with a Paramount MYT and an SBIG camera?

    On a portable setup like a Paramount MYT, minimizing weight and cable clutter is essential. It creates a cleaner, more integrated connection between your mount and camera, simplifying setup, teardown, and reducing the chance of cables catching on the tripod or pier during operation.

    Where can I find the specifications for this SBIG 6-pin cable?

    The specifications of this cable are in Appendix C: External Power Cable Sets of the earlier Paramount User Guide. The current Series 6 user guide on the Downloads tab does not include this appendix (its Appendix C is Optional Paramount Accessories).

    Does this cable set manage both power and data for my SBIG camera on a Paramount MX+?

    No, this cable is for power only. You will still need a separate USB cable to connect your SBIG camera to your control computer for image download and camera control. This set is designed solely to replace the camera's external power brick and cable.
