The total length of 115cm provides ample reach for clean cable management around your telescope, while the secure screw-on connector ensures a stable connection that won't pull loose during a slew. With one 5.5x2.1mm plug and one 5.5x2.5mm plug, this single cable can power a mixed set of devices, from QHY and ATIK cameras to high-draw Moravian cooled sensors, all from one 8A port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Two Devices from a Single 8A EAGLE Port\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for the high-current 8A outputs on the EAGLE, this Y-cable simplifies your power setup by letting you run two devices from one port. It's critical to note that the total current is shared; the cable provides a combined maximum of 8A, not 8A per lead. The 115cm length is ideal for routing power to a cooled camera and another accessory mounted on the same optical tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed Connectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cable includes two different standard DC barrel plugs to maximize compatibility: one 5.5x2.1mm (positive tip) for brands like QHYCCD, ATIK, and Player One, and one 5.5x2.5mm (positive tip) for hardware like Moravian cooled cameras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e The EAGLE-side connector threads directly onto the 8A port, creating a rigid, reliable connection that prevents accidental power loss if the cable is snagged in the dark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e8A vs. 3A Y-Cable: Choosing the Right Power Splitter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimaLuceLab offers Y-cables for both the 8A and 3A ports on the EAGLE, and choosing the correct one is essential for system stability.
