- USB4 Type-C to Type-C Cable
- 40 Gbps Data Transfer Rate
- 240 W Power Delivery
- Supports 8K Video
- 1 m (3.3 ft) Length
The Pegasus Astro USB4 Cable delivers a full 40 Gbps data rate and 240 W of power over a compact 1 m length, ideal for connecting high-bandwidth cameras and powered accessories directly on your telescope. This USB Type-C to Type-C cable meets the USB4 standard, ensuring it can handle the demands of modern imaging devices and even support 8K video transmission.
With a data transfer rate of 40 Gbps, this USB4 cable eliminates bottlenecks when downloading large files from high-resolution CMOS cameras. You can run your camera at its maximum frame rate during planetary imaging or transfer full-frame deep-sky stacks in seconds, not minutes, ensuring your hardware is never waiting on the connection.
The cable's 240 W power rating simplifies on-telescope power management. It can supply ample power to compatible devices like mini PCs or powered USB hubs that accept USB-C power delivery, reducing the number of separate power cables running up the mount.
At 1 m in length, this cable is sized perfectly for connections between devices mounted on the optical tube. It provides enough slack to accommodate focuser travel and OTA movement without creating large, snag-prone loops, keeping your on-scope cable runs clean and secure.
This Pegasus Astro cable is designed for high-speed data transfer and high-wattage power delivery between two USB-C devices. Its primary uses in astrophotography are connecting a high-speed camera to a mini PC mounted on the telescope or powering a compatible device with up to 240 W.
No, not directly. The 240 W rating means the cable can safely carry that much power between a compatible power source and a single device that supports USB-C Power Delivery (PD) at that level, such as a high-performance mini PC. It does not distribute power to multiple devices on its own.
No, a guide camera requires very little bandwidth. While this cable will work perfectly, its 40 Gbps capability is overkill for guiding alone. This cable is intended for primary imaging cameras, high-speed data storage, or devices that can leverage the full USB4 specification.
The 1 m length is optimal for on-telescope connections, such as from an imaging camera to a mini PC or from a focuser to a USB hub mounted on the OTA. This length minimizes cable drag and the risk of snagging, which can be a problem with longer cables running from the ground up to the mount.
Yes, this is an excellent use case. The Pegasus Astro USB4 cable provides a high-speed, reliable link between a computer and a hub. If both the PC and the hub support USB Power Delivery, this single cable could potentially power the hub and its connected devices as well, streamlining your setup.
