  • Pegasus Pack of 2x USB2.0 Type-A to Angled mini-B Cables- 0.5m

    This Pegasus Pack of 2x USB2.0 Type-A male to USB mini-B 5pin Male Angled Cables provides two purpose-built 0.5 m connections designed to eliminate cable clutter on your imaging rig. Each cable uses AWG 24 conductors for power and AWG 28 for data. The mini-B end is angled and the connectors are nickel-plated, so the plug lies close to the device instead of sticking out.

    Clean Cable Management: A 0.5m Solution for Astro Rigs

    Pegasus made its short cable line because branded, high-quality, short and angled USB cables were hard to find in the astro market, and its stated goal is no more cable spaghetti. At 0.5 m, this cable suits a device with a mini-B port mounted near your USB hub or powerbox on the telescope. A short run leaves no long loops to snag on the mount or tug on the gear as it slews.

    90-Degree Mini-B Connector: A Low-Profile 5-Pin Connection

    The angled mini-B 5-pin plug helps in tight setups. Instead of protruding straight out from the device, the cable runs parallel to the camera or accessory body. It is less likely to be bumped or snagged in the dark, and the rig stays more compact.

    Reliable Construction: AWG 24 Power and AWG 28 Data Lines

    The power line uses thicker AWG 24 wire and the data lines AWG 28 wire. A heavier power conductor means less voltage drop along the cable, and at 0.5 m the run is short to begin with. Both ends have nickel-plated connectors.

  • Why are these Pegasus Astro USB cables only 0.5m long?

    The 0.5 m length is a deliberate design choice for on-telescope cable management. Pegasus designed its short cables to keep setups clean, with no cable spaghetti. When the device and the USB hub both sit on the telescope, 0.5 m is enough and leaves little loose cable to snag.

    What is the advantage of the angled mini-B connector on the Pegasus cable?

    The angled mini-B connector allows the cable to run flush against the body of your camera or accessory. It sticks out less than a straight plug, so it is harder to knock in the dark.

    How do the AWG 24 and AWG 28 ratings on the Pegasus USB cable help my imaging rig?

    AWG is the wire gauge; a lower number is a thicker wire. The power line is AWG 24, thicker than the AWG 28 data lines, which keeps voltage drop on the power line low.

    Does this Pegasus pack include one or two USB mini-B cables?

    This is a pack of two cables. You will receive two identical 0.5 m USB 2.0 Type-A to angled mini-B cables.
