  • EAGLE-compatible power Y cable for 8A port

    This EAGLE-compatible power Y cable for 8A port splits a single 12V high-amperage output on your PrimaLuceLab EAGLE into two separate power leads, allowing you to run multiple devices without occupying extra ports. 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.

    Power Two Devices from a Single 8A EAGLE Port

    Designed 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.

    • Mixed Connectors: 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.
    • Secure Connection: 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.

    8A vs. 3A Y-Cable: Choosing the Right Power Splitter

    PrimaLuceLab offers Y-cables for both the 8A and 3A ports on the EAGLE, and choosing the correct one is essential for system stability. This 8A cable is designed for powering high-draw equipment, primarily cooled CMOS or CCD cameras, which often require more than 3 amps, especially during cooler warm-up or high-power operation.

    The 3A Y-cable, by contrast, is intended for lower-power accessories. Use the 3A version for items like electronic focusers, filter wheels, or guide cameras. Using the 8A cable ensures your power-hungry imaging camera gets the current it needs without compromise.

  • What is the total amperage the EAGLE 8A Y-cable can provide?

    The cable splits a single 8A port, but the total current available to both connected devices is still a maximum of 8A combined. It does not provide 16A. You must ensure the sum of the current draw of your two devices does not exceed 8A.

    Will this EAGLE Y-cable fit my QHYCCD camera?

    Yes. The cable includes one lead with a 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector (positive tip), which is the standard size used by most QHYCCD, ATIK, and Player One cameras.

    How long is the EAGLE 8A power Y-cable?

    The total length of the cable is 115cm (approximately 45 inches), providing sufficient length for routing from the EAGLE unit to devices mounted on the telescope.

    Can I use this 8A Y-cable to power a Moravian camera and an ATIK camera simultaneously from my EAGLE?

    Yes, this is an ideal use case for this cable. It provides both the 5.5x2.5mm connector needed for the Moravian camera and the 5.5x2.1mm connector for the ATIK camera. Simply verify that their combined power draw under full load (i.e., cooler at 100%) does not exceed the 8A limit of the EAGLE port.

    What prevents the EAGLE 8A Y-cable from accidentally disconnecting?

    The end of the cable that connects to the EAGLE unit features a threaded screw-on connector. This provides a secure, mechanical lock to the port, preventing it from being pulled out accidentally during operation, which is a significant advantage over standard push-in friction-fit DC plugs.

    Why would I choose the 8A Y-cable over the 3A version for my setup?

    You should choose the 8A Y-cable if you need to power at least one high-draw device, such as a cooled astrophotography camera. The 3A Y-cable is designed for splitting power for lower-consumption accessories like motorized focusers or filter wheels. Using the wrong cable could lead to under-powering your devices.
